SICK Female 12 way M23 to Unterminated Unterminated Sensor Actuator Cable, 5 m

This sensor actuator cable provides a robust connection between M23 instrumentation and external devices in industrial automation systems. Designed for incremental signal transmission, it combines a straight M23 female connector with a free, unterminated cable end to facilitate flexible wiring and integration in control cabinets, machines or moving installations where a durable, shielded link is required.

• 12 contacts deliver multi-channel signal routing and simplified wiring
• Polyurethane jacket ensures chemical resistance and long service life
• Shielded construction reduces electromagnetic interference for accurate signals
• Rated for up to 160V to accommodate common sensor voltages
• IP66 IP67 protection allows use in wet or dusty environments
• Suitable for drag‑chain operation to maintain reliability in movement

• Suitable for connecting incremental encoders to control units in conveyors
• Ideal for use with rotary sensors in servo and motion systems
• Used for wiring multi-signal sensors in harsh production cells
• Can be used for linking sensor arrays to PLCs in manufacturing lines

The cable contains multiple conductor sizes arranged as four pairs of 0.25 mm², two conductors of 0.5mm² and additional fine wires to separate power and signal paths and match varying current requirements.

The construction is specified for drag‑chain use with an increased bending‑radius requirement, enabling sustained flexing while maintaining conductor integrity.

One end is a straight M23 female 12‑pin connector with a nickel‑plated zinc locking nut

Current capacity is specified at 7A for applicable conductors, supporting moderate‑power sensor circuits within the overall 160V reference voltage limit.
