M12 is the standard for sensor and actuator connections. As the number of sensors expands in the application, the installation time required increases. In the past, M12 manufacturers have implemented faster installation features; however, they were still threaded, not cross-manufacturer compatible, and not always backward compatible to a fully-threaded connector. With M12 push-pull connectors, installation can be reduced by 80%, allowing for quick connection to various applications such as a sensor/actuator box for signal transmission.
