Here is the information about the first official line of M12 power connectors with T-coding introduced by Binder-USA. The Series 813 connectors utilize the standard M12 locking thread, but feature a new coding or key to prevent mismating with other M12 versions. The M12 connector has been made some other modifications to increase maximum rated current, cable and wire size. However, the new connectors are more suitable for power supplies in automation technology.

The T-coded M12 connectors have four gold-plated contacts. The connectors allow a wire cross-section of 1.5 mm² or 16 AWG wire, and can transfer up to 12 A at 60 V DC. With these new changes the field-attachable connectors now accept cables between 8 to 10 mm in diameter. When they are fully mated and locked, the connectors are IP67 rated ensuring protection from liquids and debris.

Other versions of the T-coded M12 power connectors are projected to be released in the coming year. Currently the male and female field-attachable connectors are available with a plastic housing and die cast locking ring. The mating panel-mount connectors are made of nickeled die cast zinc, and features a M20 x 1.5 fixing thread for mounting to a panel.
