May 27, 2015 – Molex releases Brad Micro-Push M12 Connectors for factory automation and industrial lighting applications. Featuring an innovative push-on mating interface, the connectors reduce installation time up to 80% compared to screw-style connectors and facilitate simple blind-mate connections in tight locations. Constructed without any metal components, the solution provides excellent seal performance to IP65 specifications while reducing material costs.
With an IP65 NEMA rating, the Brad Micro-Push connectors protect against ingress of solids and can withstand low-pressure water streams. They also include a threadless coupling design that eliminates reverse threading in high-vibration environments, reducing downtime for even greater cost savings. The visual and tactile keyway alignment ensures complete interface mating to deliver excellent vibration resistance while the non-metallic coupler alleviates grounding and electrostatic discharge concerns. The Brad-Micro Push connector also offers backward compatibility with legacy M12 connectors.
