Overview

The TE Connectivity 5-Position M12 Circular Connector (SKU: 494081-E) is a board-mount, A-coded M12 female connector designed for cable-to-board connectivity in industrial automation, robotics, and control systems. This 5-pole connector supports power, signal, and high-speed data transmission, making it ideal for applications requiring reliable interconnection in harsh environments. Engineered for front-mount solder PCB mounting, this connector features a straight configuration for direct board integration. The A-coding ensures compatibility with standard M12 A-coded devices, preventing mismating with other M12 variants. With a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, it operates reliably in extreme thermal conditions, from cold storage facilities to high-heat manufacturing floors. The connector’s compact 5-position design optimizes space on printed circuit boards while maintaining robust electrical performance. It is part of TE Connectivity’s M12 connector system, a trusted solution in industrial interconnect applications. The M12 series is widely deployed in factory automation, motion control, and sensor networks where secure, high-integrity connections are critical. Compatible with M12 panel-mount and cable assemblies, this connector integrates seamlessly into existing M12-based systems. Its solder PCB termination ensures a permanent, vibration-resistant connection, reducing the risk of signal degradation or intermittent faults. The connector’s design aligns with industrial standards for durability and environmental resistance, making it a dependable choice for engineers specifying interconnect solutions in automation and control applications.
