M12 L Code Receptacle for Power Distribution
The TE Connectivity T4141L12051-000 is a metal-shell M12 L Code receptacle with 5 positions arranged as 4 power contacts plus a protective earth (PE). L Code keying is specific to power applications — it prevents accidental mating with A-coded sensor or D-coded data cables in the same panel. Rated 16 A per contact at 63 V, this connector carries enough current for motor drives, power supplies, and lighting distribution in industrial cabinets. The shell is nickel-plated copper alloy; the insert is Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) rated UL94 V-0. The IP67 seal — dust-tight and waterproof — means the mated pair survives washdown and condensation inside unheated enclosures.
Pinout — 4 Power + PE
The 5-contact arrangement (4 power plus PE) follows the M12 L Code standard: power contacts deliver the load current, and the dedicated PE pin connects the shield or ground before the power pins make contact — a safety requirement for equipment with exposed metal parts.
