M12 UL Waterproof Cable Connector
Product Description
Product Detail
HuaYi-FaDa M12 UL Waterproof Cable Connector combines a molded cable assembly, multiple pin configurations, and IP68 protection for electrical equipment used in industrial and outdoor environments. The SQ12 series supports customized cable types and lengths, with gold-plated copper-alloy contacts and a UL94 V-0-rated housing material.
Advantages
Integrated Cable Assembly
The SQ12 connector is molded with its cable, eliminating the need for separate wiring at the connector end. Cable type and length can be customized to match equipment layouts and installation requirements.
Multiple Pin Configurations
Available in 2-pin, 3-pin, 4-pin, and 5-pin versions, the connector accommodates different electrical connection arrangements. The circular design integrates the contacts and cable connection into a compact assembly.
Gold-Plated Contact Design
Copper-alloy contacts with gold plating provide the conductive interface. The specified contact resistance is below 5 mΩ, and insulation resistance exceeds 500 MΩ.
IP68 Protection and Flame Resistance
The connector features an IP68 rating and silicone sealing components. Its housing and insulating parts use high-performance engineering plastics, with UL94 V-0 flame resistance specified. The operating temperature range is -40°C to +105°C.

Waterproof Performance and Connection Structure
The IP68-rated enclosure provides dust-tight protection and resistance to water ingress under defined test conditions. Silicone sealing components form part of the connector's waterproof structure, while the metal nut provides the mechanical connection between compatible mating components.
The molded cable structure reduces the need for separate wiring at the connector end. Its 4.0–8.0 mm cable diameter range accommodates compatible cable assemblies, while the four pin configurations support different circuit layouts.
The supplied specifications do not establish a separate IP68 rating for an unmated connector interface.
Applications
- Outdoor lighting systems: Molded cable connections for lighting equipment operating in exposed environments.
- Industrial automation: Electrical connections for compatible machinery and control equipment.
- Mechanical equipment: Cable assemblies for equipment requiring compact circular connectors.
- Solar photovoltaic equipment: Compatible auxiliary electrical connections.
- Communication equipment: Cable connections for compatible signal or power circuits.
The available pin configurations support different wiring arrangements, while customized cable lengths accommodate varying equipment layouts.
