CTC M12 Connectors Explained

CTC's line of M12 connectors has been a standard connector for many types of industrial instrumentation, especially in Europe.

Typically, M12 connectors are used in sensor buses and field buses and are in some cases replacing MIL-5015 2 pin connectors.

M12 connectors are sometimes more readily available at a lower cost due to a large number of applications outside of the vibration industry. 

Some of CTC's most popular top and side exit sensors are now available with a four-pin M12 connector:


AC102-M12A and AC104-M12A top exit and side exit accelerometers, 100 mV/g, ±10%

TR102-M12A and TR104-M12A top exit and side exit RTD sensors, 100 mV/g, ±10%


TR133-M12A and TR134-M12A top exit and side exit RTD sensors, 500 mV/g, ±10%


TA202-M12A and TA204-M12A top exit and side exit dual output sensors, 100 mV/g and 10 mV/°C, ±10%

TA284-M12A side exit dual output sensor, 100 mV/g and 10 mV/°C
