Compact Connectivity: M23 and Hybrid Circular Connectors

Industrial automation has seen a transformative benefit from circular connectors compared to hardwired systems. These connectors have become the “go-to” solution for engineers and system integrators, thanks to their compact footprint and ease of use.

Circular connectors are rugged enough for harsh outdoor environments while remaining extremely adaptable and versatile to meet many application requirements.

Meet the M23 Circular Connector: Robust and Reliable

Among Sealcon’s most popular connector offerings is the M23 connector series. Known for its durability and highly customizable nature, the M23 is a powerhouse in both power and signal transmission.

To ensure specific technical requirements, Sealcon offers three distinct contact options: crimp, solder, and dip solder. The M23 is designed to fit your exact architecture, offering a wide range of pole counts and housing styles:

• Power Pin-Outs: Available in 6, 8, 9, and 10 poles.
• Signal Pin-Outs: Available in 6, 7, 9, 12, 16, 17, and 19 poles.
• Housing Styles: Choose from straight, right-angle, or panel-mount configurations.
• Locking Systems: Beyond the standard screw connection, we offer the TWILOCK and TWILOCK-S quick-connect systems for faster, secure mating.

M23: Built for Tough Environments

The M23 isn’t just versatile—it’s resilient. With an operating temperature range of -40°F to 257°F, these connectors perform reliably in the most demanding thermal environments. For industries requiring high sanitation standards or extreme weather protection, stainless steel housings make the M23 an ideal choice for hygienic and heavy-duty outdoor applications.

Streamline Your System with Hybrid Connectors

For systems requiring OCT (one cable technology), including a mix of power, signals, and data, Sealcon M23 Hybrid Connectors offer a compact, “all-in-one” solution. Hybrid circular connectors combine high-power transmission (up to 28A and 630V) with reliable Fast Ethernet (CAT.5e) that reaches data speeds of over 500 Mbit/s.

By consolidating three functions—power, signal, and data—into a single housing, you can significantly reduce assembly time, save valuable installation space, and lower overall maintenance costs. Like the standard range, these are available in modular configurations and durable materials, including stainless steel, ensuring peak performance in even the most complex robotic and automation environments.
