Overview
The M22 5 pin female plug is a threaded circular connector designed for industrial automation and machinery applications. This generic-brand connector features a robust screw-threaded body that ensures a secure, vibration-resistant connection in harsh environments. The five-pin configuration supports multiple signal and power lines, making it suitable for sensor arrays, motor controls, and multi-function I/O applications.
Key Features
- 5-pin configuration for flexible signal and power routing
- Screw-threaded M22 body (metric 22 mm diameter) for secure, tamper-proof coupling
- Female contact design for mating with standard male M22 plugs
- Compact, circular form factor ideal for tight panel mountings
- Generic construction suitable for industrial controls and sensor integration
