M23 Signal Connectors for Automation Equipment

M23 signal connectors are one of the common standards in factory automation, largely because of the range of inserts available. AP Technology stocks the M23 range in the UK, making it easier to find the right contact count and body style for your equipment. Sensors, encoders, control signals and communications lines can all be routed this way. Machine builders often standardise on M23 across a platform to keep spares simple, and because both threaded and quick lock versions are available when requirements differ. The 623 series M23 is one of the broadest signal ranges available, with eight body styles for cable and panel mounting and eight insert styles from 6 up to 19 contacts. It is UL listed and VDE approved, with crimp or solder contacts and a clamping range of Ø3.5 to Ø14.7mm. Couplings can be a screw thread or the patented Speedtec quick lock system. Smaller machines often suit the 617 series M17, which comes in six body styles with 12 and 17 contact inserts rated at 7A/32V and 3.6A/63V.

Where the contact count climbs, the 627 series M27 provides 26 pole capacity across four body styles, with screw thread coupling and mixed contact arrangements such as 4+2+12 and 4+2+17. Interconnect problems rarely stop at one component. Because AP Technology supplies cable, connectors, glands and finished assemblies under one roof, it can look at the whole connection and not just one part of it. That is useful when a change to cable diameter affects the gland, or a different connector changes how the assembly should be built.
