1201088023

Overview

The Molex 1201088023 is a pre-assembled sensor cable from the Brad Micro-Change series, designed for industrial automation environments. It features an M12 male connector with 4 positions and D-coding on one end, paired with a free end terminated with stripped wires on the other. The assembly utilizes a durable PUR jacket, ensuring flexibility and resistance to oils, chemicals, and mechanical stress. Rated for 30 V and 1.5 A, it supports standard Ethernet and sensor applications requiring robust connectivity in harsh conditions.

Feature Summary

• D-coded M12 connector ensures correct mating for standard Ethernet and sensor signals
• PUR jacket provides high resistance to abrasion, oils, and industrial chemicals
• Free-end termination allows for custom wiring integration into control systems

Applications

• Industrial sensor connections
• Actuator signal transmission
• Automation control panel wiring

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific length requirement of 5 meters against project specifications before ordering. Confirm that the D-coded configuration matches the target device interface. Ensure the free-end termination method aligns with the installation protocol. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the deployment site.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a reliable M12-to-free-end connection is required for short-range industrial signaling. The D-coding prevents misconnection with A or B-coded devices. The PUR material is suitable for environments where PVC jackets may degrade due to chemical exposure or frequent movement.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Molex Brad Micro-Change family, known for compact, circular connectors used in factory automation. The 120108 series specifically addresses needs for flexible, durable cabling solutions that withstand rigorous industrial handling while maintaining signal integrity for sensors and actuators.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Molex part numbers within the 120108 series that share identical M12 4-position D-coded male connectors and similar cable lengths. Verify connector coding and wire gauge compatibility when considering alternative assemblies.
