What This M12 B-Coded Receptacle Is and Where It Goes
Rated 4 A per contact at 60 V, with gold-over-nickel plating on the mating side (3.00 µin thickness). The 5 positions match the standard M12-5 pinout for B-coded fieldbus nodes; the coding ensures you cannot accidentally plug a sensor into a power line.
Mounting and Termination Notes
Panel mount with a bulkhead — front side nut — so the receptacle stays fixed while the cordset screws on from the outside. Termination is solder cup: you tin the wire, insert into the cup, and flow solder. No crimp tool needed, but give it strain relief or it'll pull apart under cable tension. The nickel-plated copper alloy shell and silver colour are standard for M12 metal-body receptacles; the threaded fastening type mates with the matching B-coded plug.
