M12 D-Coded Shielded Plug for Industrial Field Wiring
The T4110512041-000 is a 4-position M12 plug with female sockets, D-coded orientation, and a shielded metal shell. It terminates field wiring via screw terminals and mates with a standard M12 male receptacle. The nickel-plated brass shell and coupling nut, combined with the IP67 rating, make this connector suited for industrial environments where dust, washdown, and vibration are present. Gold-plated contacts rated 4 A per circuit at 250 V handle both signal and moderate power in sensor/actuator networks.
D-Coding and Shielding — Why They Matter
The D-coded orientation is specific to M12 connectors used in Ethernet-based industrial networks (Profinet, EtherCAT) — it prevents cross-mating with A-coded sensor or B-coded fieldbus connectors. The full 360° shielding around the brass shell and nickel backshell maintains signal integrity in electrically noisy factory-floor environments. The cable opening range of 0.236" to 0.315" (6.00 mm to 8.00 mm) accepts common industrial round cables; the screw termination allows field assembly without crimp tooling.
IP67 Sealing and Temperature Range
The polyamide insert and zinc alloy contacts are cost-effective choices for moderate-duty industrial interconnects.
