Overview

Brad Harrison Ultra-Lock® (M12) Back Panel Mount Receptacle (SKU: WR8U46E02C300) is a robust 8-pole, male M12 connector designed for harsh industrial environments. Engineered with A-coding (single keyway) for secure IEC-compliant connections, this receptacle mates seamlessly with standard threaded M12 and Ultra-Lock cordsets, ensuring reliable sensor/actuator connectivity. The fully potted assembly delivers IP67/68 protection, making it ideal for applications exposed to moisture, dust, and vibration, such as factory automation, process control, and machinery OEM installations. Key specifications include nickel-plated brass shell for corrosion resistance, polyamide contact carriers, and gold-over-nickel-plated copper alloy contacts rated for 2.0A per contact at 30V AC/36V DC. The 0.25mm² (24 AWG) PVC-insulated leads (0.30m length) are UL1061 certified for 300V, 80°C operation, meeting cCSAus LR6837 standards. The M16x1.5 mounting threads allow back panel installation from inside enclosures, providing a clean, secure interface for field wiring to terminal strips or PCB tails. This connector is part of Brad’s Ultra-Lock 2.0 system, offering tool-free locking for rapid assembly and disassembly while preventing accidental disconnections. Its NEMA 6 and IP67/68 ratings ensure reliable performance in washdown environments, outdoor installations, or areas with high particulate exposure. Compatible with 8-pole configurations only, this receptacle is optimized for applications requiring high-density signal transmission, such as industrial Ethernet, IO-Link, or distributed I/O systems.
