System
Description
Amphenol’s M12 family of connectors features
the C112 series. They are characterized by
compact size, functional design, reliable sealing,
durable construction and electrically stable.
The connector protects the cable and its
components from loosening due to harsh vibration
while operating in tough industrial environments.
Electrically sensitive applications requiring EMI
shielding are protected with a design that enables
attenuation values in the range of a double
shielded cable. This design feature incorporates
a 360° shielding system from the cable to the
appliance housing.
The connectors in the C112 family use a 12 mm
thread. These connectors are top choice in
automation and sensor technology. Power circuit
requirements up to four amps can also be
satisfied by this connector design.

ntinents
Standards
Connectors meet these standards:
IEC 61076-2-101, interfaces according
to (IEC 60947-5-2) and proximity switches
(VDE 0660 part 208).
EMI
German EMI regulations (EMI-guideline:
89/336 EWG) are met when correctly
assembled in the appliance.

Application
and use
Connectors should be used according to their
rated performance values. These rated values
are etablished under specific conditions to meet
product specifications or other electrical
qualifications. The C112 connectors are designed
for use in a variety of electrical equipment and
applications that control various appliances or
link communications with sensor technology.
The user is responsible to verify that the connector
meets the application requirements of the product.
All connector rating data in this catalog is based on
the overvoltage of category III and pollution degree
of 2/3 for electrical devices. All specifications are
met when the connectors are completely mated.
Assembly
The housings of the panel receptacle or plug
must be reliably integrated into the protective
means of the enclosure. Reference: DIN VDE
0100 part 410; 80384-4-41. During assembly,
care must be given to ensure that all components
are correctly mounted and screw terminations
are tightened to the correct torque.
Termination
Customer assembled cable connectors must follow
precise instructions to properly secure the strain
relief system. There is an integrated strain relief
clamp or a standard Pg cable entry. The standard
Pg cable entry requires a strain relief close to the
rear of the connector. Cable selection should
meet the same specifications as the connector
(i.e., solvent resistance or fire protection). Correct
polarity must be observed when terminating
wires. The wire insulation should be stripped to
the proper length and wire diameter.

Remarks
The C112 connectors are designed and produced
in conformance with the low voltage guidelines:
72/73 EWG and the law for safety of appliances.
The connectors are designed and manufactured
according to DIN VDE 57-0627. Design changes
to meet quality improvements, product development
or production requirements are reserved. All
technical data is related to connectors operating
under normal use and loads when fully mated.
Connectors should not be mated or unmated
while under load. Connector safety is dependent
upon the correct selection of products, installation,
and assembly. The listed technical data and
remarks are intended to help the user select the
correct products for the appropriate applications.
