Common standard for M12 plug connections
Eight manufacturers of M12 connectors have come together to establish a standard for push-pull locking on the market.
Harting, Phoenix Contact, Molex, Murrelektronik, Binder, Conec, Escha and Weidmüller are cooperating to ensure cross-manufacturer compatibility for M12 connectors. This joint approach results in IEC 61076-2-010, a standard that describes both external and internal locking using push-pull locking.
The vote on the CDV was approved with 92.9%. A final form of the IEC in question can therefore be expected in December 2020. dsc
