1238937

Overview

Phoenix Contact part number 1238937 is a Cat.6 Ethernet modular contact carrier, also known as an insert, designed for M12 circular connectors. It features an X-coded configuration with 8 positions and utilizes socket contacts. The component is engineered for straight orientation and supports SMD reflow soldering for surface mount assembly. Materials are lead-free and comply with RoHS II standards without exemption 6c.

Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed Cat.6 Ethernet data transmission via X-coded interface
• Designed for direct surface mount technology (SMD) reflow soldering processes
• Constructed from lead-free materials compliant with RoHS II regulations

Applications

• Industrial automation network connections
• Device-level Ethernet fieldbus integration
• Surface mount PCB assembly for industrial sensors and actuators

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure compatibility with the intended housing shell. Confirm that the procurement specification explicitly requires the SMD variant, as standard through-hole inserts differ in mounting mechanism. Ensure the application environment meets the thermal requirements for reflow soldering profiles specified by the manufacturer.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an M12 connector is required for Ethernet applications on a printed circuit board using surface mount technology. The X-coding ensures physical keying for Gigabit Ethernet compatibility. Verify that the mating housing is compatible with the straight orientation and 8-position socket configuration of this insert.

Part Context

This insert belongs to Phoenix Contact's SACC-CI series of circular connector components. These inserts are designed to be housed within corresponding M12 shells to create complete connector assemblies. The series supports various coding types for different signal requirements, with this specific unit dedicated to Ethernet data links.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacement requires another Phoenix Contact M12 X-coded 8-position socket insert suitable for SMD mounting. Cross-manufacturer substitutes must match the pinout, shielding requirements, and mechanical footprint precisely to maintain signal integrity and fit.
