M12 Series
M12 connector series
for railway applications
Suitable for a wide range of cable diameters up to 10mm, the new Hypertac M12 connectors allow for a complete 360°
of cable screen termination minimising the possibility of electrical interference in sensitive applications such as GPS
and video signal transmission. Furthermore, a unique backshell design allows installers complete flexibility to change
from a straight cable exit to right angled after cable termination and installation. This patented feature allows customers
to optimise the cable routing within an application at the time of installation, to only procure a single connector for all
requirements and thus also benefit from economies of volume and simpler inventory management.
Both A and D-coded, free assembled and overmoulded versions are IP67 sealed when mated and are available with
operating voltage of up to 90V, in accordance with the French Rail Traction specification NF F 61-030, according to
DIN EN 61076-2-101 operating voltage up to 250V AC/DC is possible. The socket contacts utilise the high reliability
Hyperboloid socket technology featuring superior electrical characteristics. Able to be crimped to cables with cross
sections from 0.03 to 1.0mm² (AWG32 to AWG18) the mechanical construction of the Hypertac socket comprises
a number of wires arranged in a hyperboloid fashion that expand, wrap around and grip along the length of a pin contact
inserted inside its bore. This design offers substantial improvements over alternative technology capabilities in terms
of insertion force, mating cycles and fretting corrosion resistance in addition to the key requirements of high current
capability and low contact resistance.
