M12 sensor cable, 3 m long, with a PVC jacket and a factory-moulded 4-pin angled female connector (socket, A-coded). The other end has open wires (flying leads) that connect directly to a terminal strip or input module – no soldering and no connector assembly. The socket screws onto the M12 plug of the sensor, and the cable leaves the connector at 90°.
Suitable sensors
For M12 sensors with a PNP or NPN output – with one output or with two outputs, NO and NC (in Nexotec sensors the NO output is on pin 4 and NC on pin 2).
Pin assignment and wire colours – M12 4-pin
| Pin | Wire colour | Function in Nexotec sensors |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | brown (BN) | supply + (L+) |
| 2 | white (WH) | second output (NC) |
| 3 | blue (BU) | supply 0 V (L−) |
| 4 | black (BK) | output (NO) |
The connector is made to IEC 61076-2-101 (A-coded), so it also fits other brands' sensors with an A-coded M12 plug.
Installation and operating conditions
Cable jacket: PVC, black. The cable is not designed for drag chains. In moving applications the minimum bending radius is 10 × cable diameter, i.e. approx. 48 mm. Operating temperature: −40 to +80 °C in fixed installation, −25 to +80 °C when moving.

Frequently asked questions
What are the wire colours of the M12 4-pin cable?
Pin 1 – brown, pin 2 – white, pin 3 – blue, pin 4 – black.
Is the cable suitable for drag chains?
No. This cable is not designed for drag chains.
Is the cable shielded?
No, it is an unshielded cable.
Can it be used with an NPN sensor?
Yes. The wire colours and pin assignment are the same for PNP and NPN sensors.
Does it fit sensors of other brands?
Yes – it fits sensors with an A-coded M12 plug, as the connector is made to IEC 61076-2-101.
Is there a version with LEDs?
Yes – M12 4-pin cables with LEDs show power and output state; they are intended for PNP sensors with one output.
How many times can the connector be unplugged?
The connector withstands at least 100 mating cycles.
What other lengths and versions are available?
Besides this version, we offer M12 4-pin cables with a socket in the following variants: straight PUR 3 m; straight PUR 5 m; straight PVC 3 m; angled PUR 3 m; angled PUR 5 m; angled PVC 5 m.
Is the connector sealed without tightening the nut?
No. IP67 applies only when the connector is mated and the coupling nut is tightened.
