General Description

These M12 breakout boards are part of the BRKQ series, which provides a clean and simple solution for terminating wires at a connector through a panel or enclosure wall. These boards are great for making machine network connections, connecting external sensors, connecting human interface devices, and neatly transitioning cabling through an enclosure.

This board has an 8-pin, A-coded M12 connector that brings all eight lines and shield out to screw terminals. It is available with either a male or female connector.

A breakout board is sometimes referred to as a "transition module", "terminal board", "terminal block", "breakout box", "breakout adapter", "terminator", or "interface module".

Features

M16 Panel Nut

This board comes with a panel nut installed on its connector. This nut is used to secure the board to a panel or enclosure wall. Simply unscrew the nut from the connector, insert the connector through the wall, and reattach the nut to the connector. These boards use a size M16 panel nut.
