Category Insights

The M16 electrical connector is a circular connector with a 16mm threaded locking mechanism. It offers a compact yet durable solution for industrial applications. Available in plastic or metal housings, it typically has 3-8 pins for power or signal transmission. Many models feature IP67/IP68 ratings for water and dust resistance. The threaded coupling ensures secure connections in high-vibration environments. Smaller than M23 but larger than M12, it balances size and performance. Common variants include straight and right-angle designs. Ideal for space-constrained installations needing reliable connectivity. Used widely in automation, sensors, and control systems.

M16 connectors are used in industrial sensors like proximity switches and photoelectric eyes. They connect small motors and actuators in automation systems. Common in HVAC controls and building automation. Used for LED lighting in harsh environments. Found in medical equipment requiring compact, sealed connections. Applied in transportation systems for signal transmission. Suitable for renewable energy applications like solar trackers. Their medium size makes them perfect where M12 is too small but M23 is oversized. Often used in food processing equipment due to easy cleaning.

M16 is slightly larger (16mm vs 12mm threads) than M12. It offers more pin options and higher current capacity. Both provide similar environmental protection. Choose M16 when needing more contacts in a compact space. M12 remains better for ultra-compact sensor applications.

Standard M16 connectors handle 4-8A depending on configuration. High-power versions may reach 12A. Always check manufacturer specifications. Current capacity varies by pin material and count. Proper wire gauge ensures safe operation.

Most industrial M16 connectors are IP67 rated (1m waterproof). Some achieve IP68 for continuous immersion. Proper installation maintains protection. Sealing gaskets must be intact for full performance. Verify ratings for your specific application.

Primarily in industrial automation and sensor networks. Common in building management systems. Used for outdoor lighting fixtures. Found in compact motor connections. Popular in clean-in-place food equipment. Suitable for medical device interfaces.

They work with 4-8mm diameter industrial cables. Shielded cables are recommended for EMI protection. Flexible cables suit moving applications. Choose oil-resistant jackets for harsh environments. Always use proper strain relief and follow manufacturer guidelines.
