The 09-0132-80-12 is an M16 female panel mount connector from the series 723, designed for miniature connector applications requiring robust environmental sealing and reliable signal transmission. It features 12 contacts (12-a configuration) with solder termination, unshielded design, and a screw-type locking system for secure mating. The connector is rated for 60 V nominal with a 500 V impulse rating, carries 3.0 A per contact, and maintains an insulation resistance of =10¹° O. It operates across a temperature range of -40 °C to +95 °C, supports over 500 mating cycles, and achieves IP67 protection for use in harsh industrial environments. The housing is zinc die-cast with nickel plating, contacts are bronze with gold plating, and the connector complies with DIN EN 61076-2-106 and UL 2238 standards. Common applications include plant engineering, control systems, and electrical equipment construction where sealed, multi-contact connections are required.
