The Variety of JB12 Series Compact Waterproof Ethernet Connectors for Industry has been Expanded with the Addition of an Angle Type
March 25, 2025
JAE has added and launched sales of an angle type plug to the JB12 Series (M12 X-code) compact waterproof Ethernet connectors, which are compliant with IEC standards.
Overview
As factory automation advances with the introduction of robots and automated equipment, industrial equipment is becoming miniaturized and more complex, requiring space-saving wiring solutions. To meet these needs, JAE has released the JB12 Series (M12 X-code and D-code) compact waterproof Ethernet connectors, which achieved the industry’s smallest class, are compliant with IEC standards, and have been well received.
*International Electrotechnical Commission Standard IEC 61076-2-109
As a new X-code variation, JAE has developed an angle type plug in addition to the conventional straight plug.
The JB12 Series angle type plug allows the cable to exit at a 90° angle from the housing without the need to bend the cable in tight spaces. This achieves space-saving wiring without placing a load on the connector and cable. Additionally, the angle end bell (a component used to fix and protect the cable) can be secured in any rotational position, allowing the cable’s exit direction to be chosen freely within a 360° range.
