Characteristic Description
Y-split Signal Distribution: The 1-to-2 male-female Y-split structure enables one female connector to transmit signals to two independent industrial modules, reducing wiring complexity in automated production lines.
17-Pin Multi-Signal Support: With 17 pins, it handles power, control, and data signals simultaneously—perfect for multi-functional industrial devices like robotic arms or assembly line sensors.
IP67 Harsh Environment Protection: Fully dustproof and water-resistant (1m water immersion for 30 mins), it resists oil splashes and humidity common in factories.
Aviation-Grade Mechanical Strength: Follows aviation connector standards to endure 2,000+ vibration cycles (50-1500Hz) and 80N mechanical pressure, preventing loose connections in high-motion industrial setups.
EMI Shielding: Integrated anti-electromagnetic interference design blocks interference from nearby motors or power cables, ensuring 99.9% signal accuracy.
Market Research
The global industrial automation connector market is projected to reach 18.7B by 2028, with split-type connectors growing at 7.1% CAGR. A 2024 survey found 68% of manufacturing plants prioritize connectors that reduce wiring time—making the Y-split M12 model a top choice. Additionally, 82% of industrial buyers list IP67 waterproofing and EMI resistance as "must-have" features, as unplanned downtime from connector failure costs factories 2,000+/hour on average.
Performance Meets
Continuous Operation: Works stably for 10,000+ hours in -40°C to 85°C temperatures, matching the lifespan of most industrial equipment.
Low Contact Resistance: Gold-plated pin contacts ensure contact resistance <5mΩ, minimizing power loss during high-current transmission.
Quick Installation: Plug-and-play design cuts installation time by 50% compared to screw-lock connectors, ideal for urgent production line upgrades.

FAQ
Can this connector be used with food-grade equipment?
Yes. The stainless steel variant meets FDA standards for food contact environments, making it safe for use in food processing machines.
How often should the connector be inspected in industrial use?
For high-vibration setups (e.g., robotic arms), inspect every 6 months; for static equipment, annual inspections suffice to check for dust or contact wear.
Is it compatible with 3-phase industrial power?
The 17-pin design can allocate pins for 3-phase power (up to 250V) and control signals, but we recommend consulting our team to customize pin assignments for your power needs.
