Converter cables connect M12 to Deutsch DT and AMP Superseal with several common pin outs

Selecting the proper electronic sensor for off-highway mobile equipment is a critical design step in launching a successful application. Off-highway equipment manufacturers require environmentally sealed automotive style connectors to meet their unique needs, but most sensor offerings come only equipped with an M12 threaded connector.

Balluff converter cables create new options by pairing an M12 connector with Deutsch DT and AMP Superseal connectors with several common pin outs. This makes the spectrum of sensors with M12 connectors available to you. Balluff’s converter cables are rated for 5 million flex cycles and come with IP67, IP68 and IP69K protection ratings, so they are ready for challenging environments.

The cables utilize PUR jackets rather than PVC. PUR improves the resistance to many oils, gasoline, degreaser solvents, and other common fluids found on mobile equipment. PUR jackets also greatly improve low temperature flexibility, resistance to the environment, and oxidation protection. Balluff also offers M12 cables of various lengths and jacket materials with flying leads for a complete home run back to the control module.

Sensors with inductive, capacitive, and ultrasonic technologies allow manufacturers to implement automated features that enhance the machine’s productivity, or to abide by the latest safety regulations to protect the operator and surrounding workers. These sensors must have the right properties for the job at hand without compromise. Balluff’s converter cables make it easier to find the best sensor to meet your requirements.
