Technical Application Questions

• Why choose a right-angle connector over a straight one?
• The 90-degree design saves valuable space behind equipment, allowing for tighter panel layouts and reducing strain on the cable exit.
• What types of devices use a 4-pin M12 connection?
• This is common for sensors with dual outputs (e.g., PNP and NPN), ultrasonic sensors, some valve connectors, and IO-Link communication devices.
• Can this cable be used in an environment with constant flexing?
• It is rated for flexible wiring but is best for occasional movement or cable management. For continuous flexing, a specifically rated PUR cable is recommended.
• How do I ensure the connector maintains its IP67 rating?
• Always clean the mating surfaces before connection and tighten the screw lock to the specified 0.6 Nm torque to compress the sealing ring properly.
• Is the wire color standard, and what is the pinout?
• While Leuze often uses a standard color code (e.g., brown=+24V, blue=0V, black=output, white=signal), always consult the device manual for the specific pinout.
