M12 PCB-Connectors 90° Angled
General
M12 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 handled within a standard SMT assembly line.
Mating side according IEC 60076 – 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
• different sealing options
• additional features see standard version

Assembly and Solder Recommendations
PCB thickness
The connector has integrated PCB support points, which are
able to adapt the 3 most common thicknesses for PCBs. 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 mentioned ran-
ge 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 cho-
sen PCB thickness, see drawing left hand side.
The PCB has to be designed to provide those supports.
For a proper placing and soldering,
refer to the ERNI layout
recommendations document 225321.
