Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
Introduction
The EVC679 provides a dependable M12-to-M12 connection for industrial sensors, actuators and automation equipment. Its compact design is suitable for installations requiring short cable lengths.
Connector and Electrical Design
The cable uses an angled M12 plug and straight M12 socket with A-coded connections. It has a DC PNP electrical design and operates from 10–36 V DC with a 4 A current rating.
Durability and Protection
The PUR cable is halogen-free and silicone-free. TPU housings, nickel-plated brass nuts, FKM sealing and gold-plated contacts provide reliable mechanical and electrical performance.
Application Performance
The EVC679 provides IP65, IP67, IP68 and IP69K protection and is suitable for drag-chain applications. It supports more than 5 million bending cycles and includes yellow output-status and green power LEDs.
