Image of TE Connectivity AMP's M12 Power L-Code Connectors TE Connectivity’s M12 power L-code connectors are an extension of the current M12 IEC standard and have been selected by PROFIBUS and PROFINET International (PI) as the standard for 24 V power supply systems used in PROFINET devices. An extension of TE’s M12 product portfolio, M12 L-code cable assemblies handle up to 16 A per pin (the highest in TE’s M12 family), delivering four times the power of standard M12 connectors while providing reliable and efficient power. M12 power L-coded connectors take up to 40% less space and almost 80% more power than 7/8” connectors traditionally used for high-power connections. The M12 power cable assemblies are available in both male and female connectors and are suitable for every purpose with a conductor size range from 1.5 mm² up to 2.5 mm², allowing for a more compact build of high-power solutions for automation devices.

Applications
