HARTING HART Harax M12 L-Coded Male Connector, 5-Pole, IDC, 16A, 63V, IP67, Field Installable, Shieldable

Field technicians assembling industrial machinery often need a reliable, tool-free connector for power and signal lines in harsh environments. The HARTING Harax M12 L-coded male connector delivers exactly that: a robust, field-installable solution with insulation displacement technology, eliminating the need for special tools while ensuring secure, vibration-resistant connections. With its L-coding, it is specifically designed for DC power applications, supporting up to 16 A and 63 V, making it ideal for drives, sensors, and decentralized I/O systems. The connector features 5 contacts (4 power + 1 functional earth), a gold-plated copper alloy contact surface for excellent conductivity, and a polyamide housing that withstands temperatures from -40 to +85 °C. When mated, it achieves IP65/IP67 protection, safeguarding against dust and water ingress. The cable diameter range of 8 to 13 mm accommodates various cable sizes, and the shieldable design ensures electromagnetic compatibility in noisy environments. Whether you're setting up a new production line or maintaining existing equipment, this connector provides a durable, high-performance connection point.
