Featuring a secure, fast-locking contacting method, the M12 Push Pull Connectors are optimal for use in harsh environments to prevent accidental disconnects that cause downtime, disrupt data gathering or create safety hazards.

The M12 Push Pull Connector answers the call with its simple, secure contacting method and portfolio of X-coded, D-coded and A-coded variants to meet a wide range of industrial and transportation use cases.
"Today's industrial, transportation and automation environments demand continuous uptime and dependable data collection from OT equipment," said Artjom Bil, Product Manager at Belden. "The M12 Push Pull Connector provides the fast, guaranteed secure contacting enterprises need for reliable connectivity - with no tools or screwing required.
"The connectors are ideal for tight spaces and use in the field, and meet standards for vibration, salt spray, welding spark, chemical and external force resistance to withstand challenging conditions."
