New plastic M12 connector from Foremost is a cost-effective replacement for metal connectors

The Binder 713 series female socket is a reliable, low-cost, direct replacement for metal-bodied versions. Its plastic housing is manufactured from rugged polyamide and has exactly the same dimensions as industry standard metal versions.

Protected to IP67, the 713 series has solder contacts for wires up to 0.25mm² and the housing can accommodate cable sizes from 3.5 to 5.0mm. Contacts are gold-plated bronze with a current rating of 2 to 4A and solder bucket and dip solder versions are available. The new plastic 713 series connector has a minimum mating cycle of 100 cycles.
