binder introduces the M12 L- and T-coded connectors, engineered with stainless steel locking mechanisms to ensure reliability and durability in demanding industrial environments. With the launch of the 813 (T-coded) and 823 (L-coded) series field-attachable M12 connectors, binder continues to strengthen its range of connection solutions.
The connectors feature a high-strength stainless steel locking system, offer IP67-rated protection against dust and water, and boast an impressive mechanical service life of over 100 mating cycles. The 813 series has a 4-pole configuration, while the 823 series offersoptions for both 4-pole and 4+FE (functional earth) configurations. Both series are designed to accommodate cable diameters between 6 and 13 mm.
Beyond their mechanical strength, the connectors deliver thermal performance, ensuring reliable operation across a broad temperature range from -40 °C to +105 °C. This combination of durability, flexibility, and high performance makes them suited for today’s demanding industrial applications.
Reliability in Harsh Environments
In the industrial sector, shaped by the rise of automation and the need for robust, space-efficient connectivity, binder’s M12 series boosts performance standards. The new L- and T-coded connectors offer reliability and mechanical durability, combined with resistance to harsh environmental conditions. Meeting the increasing demands of Industry 4.0 applications, these connectors provide a cost-effective and dependable solution for secure signal, data, and power transmission.

High-Quality Engineering in Detail
The 813 series (T-code) from binder is particularly suitable for applications where high electrical performance and high resistance to external influences are required. The number of poles of four and a screwable stainless steel locking mechanism result in a protection class of IP67, which guarantees complete protection against dust and temporary immersion in water. The connection is made via screw terminals, which are suitable for cable apertures of 6-10 mm, and supports a connection cross-section of up to 1.50 mm²/AWG 16. The series has a rated voltage of 63 V and a rated current of 12.0 A, which qualifies it for use in electrical systems with high requirements. The mechanical service life of over 100 mating cycles ensures a long service life.
The 823 series (L-code) enables increased flexibility and performance, especially for applications with increased current requirements. The number of poles of 4 or 4+FE and the connection cross-section of up to 2.5 mm² / AWG 14 without wire end ferrules predestine this series for use with higher current loads of up to 16 A. The stainless steel locking mechanism also ensures high mechanical stability and IP67 protection. The wide cable aperture of 8-13 mm and the ability to work in temperature ranges from -40 °C to 105 °C make this series the ideal solution for demanding industrial environments. In electrical terms, the series has a rated voltage of 63 V.
