DELOCK M12 D-coded adapter 4-pin female to RJ45 plug, gold contacts, black

DELOCK M12 D-coded adapter converts an M12 4-pin female connector to an RJ45 plug. It is designed for industrial Ethernet and sensor/actuator connections where an M12 interface must be adapted to standard RJ45 cabling. The adapter has gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transmission and improved corrosion resistance and is supplied in a black PVC housing.

Advantages

The adapter provides a compact, robust transition between M12 D-coded 4-pin interfaces and RJ45 networks, reducing the need for custom cabling. Gold-plated contacts ensure stable electrical contact and resistance to environmental corrosion. The PVC housing offers basic mechanical protection and insulating properties suitable for many industrial installations.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This adapter is intended for signal/interface conversion and does not provide additional surge, EMC, or environmental sealing beyond the basic PVC housing. It may not be suitable where IP-rated waterproofing, full metal shielding, or extended mechanical protection is required.

Key specifications

How to use

Plug the M12 D-coded female side into the corresponding M12 male connector on the device or cable. Insert the RJ45 plug into the network jack or patch cable. Ensure connectors are aligned and fully seated to maintain proper contact. Use appropriate cable strain relief and routing practices in the installation to avoid mechanical stress on the adapter.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

Use this DELOCK M12 D-coded adapter for indoor or sheltered industrial environments where a reliable, short conversion between M12 4-pin D-coded interfaces and RJ45 cabling is needed. Avoid exposing the adapter to heavy mechanical loads, direct water ingress, or highly corrosive environments without additional protection.
