Features and Benefits
Manufacturing plants are facing rising power requirements within smaller spaces. However, current power connector systems tend to be large. The Brad M12 Power L-Code Connector System provides a foundation for a new standard device connection while providing space savings in keeping with the trend toward miniaturization that is driving Industry 4.0 developments. Details below:
• 16.0A @ 63V with M12 size 2.50mm²
• 12.0A @ 63V with M12 size 1.50mm²
Industry 4.0 developments require improved connectivity with more connections/nodes and more power. Ethernet on the factory floor is the future (i.e., digital manufacturing). However, connectors need to meet international standards. Brad M12 Power L-Code connectors meet the new standard for PROFINET applications:
• IEC Standard IEC 61076-2-111
• PNO listing/acceptance
• Full intermateability with competitors M12 Power L-Code
To keep up with Industry 4.0, plant managers need connectivity that is equal to or better than the performance/reliability of established M12 connector systems. The Brad M12 Power L-Code Connector System delivers the following cutting-edge advantages:
• Pre-assembly processes mitigate wiring and assembly errors while saving valuable time due to Molex’s exact production processes.
• Flamar WSOR cabling further protects the entire cordset and wiring system even in the harshest of environments.
Decentralization plays a key role in the digitization of industrial automation technology. True to the zero-cabinet philosophy, there is a trend toward shifting applications and components out of the traditional control cabinet and into the field as part of smaller units or machines. As applications move out of the cabinet and into the field, Brad M12 Power L-Code connectors deliver the IP67-rated sealed interface, which can withstand harsh conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What current can the Brad M12 Power L-Code deliver?
With the use of thicker 2.50mm² wires, the M12 Power L-Code Connector System can power your application with 16.0A.
If you don’t need to take advantage of the full 16.0A, there is also a cost-reduced 12.0A version with 1.50mm² wires available.
What is the advantage of the Brad M12 Power L-Code?
The smaller form factor and higher amperage makes the M12 Power L-Code more attractive than physically larger or electrically lower performing products.
