Product Introduction

The Overmolded M12 Unshielded Circular Connector is designed for compact signal and power transmission where reliable connection, flexible cabling, and simplified installation are required. By combining a standardized M12 interface with an integrated overmolded structure, this connector delivers stable performance in demanding industrial environments while maintaining cost efficiency through its unshielded design.

Unlike traditional field-assembled connectors, the overmolded construction creates a sealed transition between cable and connector, reducing mechanical stress, minimizing ingress risks, and improving long-term durability. The unshielded configuration makes this connector especially suitable for applications where electromagnetic interference is not critical, allowing system designers to balance performance with overall system cost.

This connector series is widely adopted in automation, sensor networks, and industrial equipment where space, reliability, and ease of deployment are key decision factors.
