M12 connectors can be divided into the following different types according to their uses and functions:
Power connector: used to transmit power signals, including two types of 2-pin and 4-pin.
Signal connector: used to transmit digital and analog signals, can have 2 to 12 pins, and can also have different shapes such as flat and angled.
Data connector: used to transmit network signals such as Ethernet and industrial Ethernet, mainly used in fields such as robots and automation equipment.
Optical fiber connectors: used to transmit optical signals, can be divided into two types: single-mode optical fiber and multi-mode optical fiber.
Sensor connector: used to transmit sensor signals, which can be single-point connection or multi-point connection.
In addition, M12 connectors can also be divided into different types such as in-line type, corner type, soldering type, and PCB mounting type according to the shape and installation method of the socket. According to the different protection levels, it can also be divided into different types such as IP67 and IP68. These different types of M12 connectors can meet the needs of different fields.
