P269 · ConnectorM12 M-coded 6-position power connector

How they differ

  • M12 K-coded 5-position power connector Confirm K coding and the five-position insert from exact documentation; position count alone cannot establish the required power connector.
  • M12 L-coded 5-position power connector Confirm L-coding and the five-position form, then use the exact component and equipment documentation for every electrical decision.
  • M12 M-coded 6-position power connector Verify M coding and six positions from the exact component or cable documentation rather than trial fitting.

Then askWhich keyed M12 power coding and position count does the exact equipment documentation specify?

C253A · P253

Phoenix Contact identifies part 1276587 as a five-position M12 power cable connector with L-coding.

Claim scope: V43 catalogue-expansion identification fact only; not independent technical approval, fabrication data, wiring instruction, protocol guarantee or end-to-end compatibility proof.

Source links: S273 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)

C253C · P253

Phoenix Contact 1276587 is a configurable cable assembly with an angled M12 L-coded plug and a free cable end; its description leaves cable type and length as selectable order properties.
