SENSOR PIPE SOLUTIONS
This new development is an innovative product that have never been existed before. It completes the ERNI M12
connector range with a M12 male connector which targets specially the sensor industry, where mostly one single
male connector is used for a device. To save cost and ensure high quality levels, the connector can be fully hand-
led within a standard SMT assembly line.
Mating side according IEC 61076 – 2 – 101.
Design Features
• extremely short version 14 mm length
• specially designed for M12 sensor pipes
• front mounting of final assembled PCB into the
sensor pipe
• sealing option with O-ring
• versions with anti twist protection
• additional features see standard version

M12 - Right Angle Connectors
ASSEMBLY AND SOLDER RECOMMENDATIONS
PCB THICKNESS
The connector has integrated PCB support points,
which are able to adapt the 3 frequently-used PCB
thicknesses. The thickest PCB could be 2.0 mm
followed by the favorite 1.6 mm and further followed
by the thinnest 1.0 mm.
Note:
Also other thicknesses in between of the men-
tioned range can be used, if the non centric position
of the connector, in this case is taken into account.
The support points have to be considered according
the chosen PCB thickness, see drawing left hand
side. The PCB has to be designed to provide those
supports.
For exact dimensions, mechanical CAD-files can be
provided.
ASSEMBLY PROCESS
Printing of solder paste
Automated Assembly
Bemerkungen
• generally a certain mounting force is required
Nozzle
when using the THR solder process
Pick&Place
• Special-Nozzles may be necessary
• machine capability must be checked upfront
