What This M12 Receptacle Does in the Assembly
The T4111001051-000 is an M12 A-coded receptacle with male pins, 5 positions, designed for free-hanging (in-line) mounting in industrial sensor and actuator networks. The threaded fastening and IP67 rating mean it seals against dust and water jets when mated with the matching female cordset — a standard requirement for washdown zones on packaging lines or outdoor cabinet drops. The backshell (PBT, glass-filled) and 4.00mm ~ 6.00mm cable opening give the harness builder a defined wire range to terminate with the screw terminals.
Ratings That Drive the Fit
4A per contact at 60V — that is the standard power envelope for M12 A-coded connectors in 24V DC I/O networks. The current is not a bus-bar level; it is sized for individual sensor or actuator circuits where the load is the device, not a distribution rail. The gold-plated mating side (3.00µin / 0.076µm) handles the repeated mate-unmate cycles of field service without contact fretting, and the zinc alloy contact material keeps the cost predictable for high-volume harness builds.
Mating Half and Field Termination
The A-coded keying is non-negotiable — a B-coded or D-coded plug will not engage. The screw termination is a field-friendly detail: strip the wire, tighten the screw, no crimp tool needed. The backshell clamps onto the cable jacket between 4.00mm and 6.00mm diameter, and the threaded coupling ring provides the mechanical retention that keeps the IP67 seal compressed.
