Overview

The TE Connectivity 1838274-2 is a 4-position M12 circular connector designed for reliable cable-to-cable signal transmission in industrial environments. This reverse-gender, A-coded connector is constructed from durable Polyamide (PA) plastic, providing robust mechanical integrity and resistance to moisture, dust, and contaminants. Its hermetically sealed construction ensures protection against harsh conditions, maintaining signal integrity in demanding operational environments. Key specifications include a 4-position configuration for efficient signal transmission, reverse gender design for enhanced system flexibility, and A-coding to prevent misalignment and ensure secure connections. The connector is part of the M12 standard series, specifically engineered for signal applications in industrial automation, robotics, control systems, and sensor/actuator networks. The hermetic sealing capability makes it ideal for applications where exposure to moisture, dust, or contaminants could compromise performance. The connector supports a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, ensuring reliable operation in extreme conditions. Its plastic construction and shielded design provide additional protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and mechanical stress. Compatible with M12 A-coded components, this connector is designed for seamless integration into industrial systems requiring consistent and dependable electrical connections. The reverse gender configuration allows for flexible cable-to-cable connectivity, reducing installation complexity and improving system reliability.
