The **W2PV-C1SA2-R2** is a specialized electronic component, specifically a **M12 Circular Connector** designed for industrial automation applications. It is part of the "W2PV" series, which typically focuses on robust, water-resistant connections for sensors and actuators. --- ### ## Technical Specifications & Construction Below is a breakdown of the electronic and mechanical characteristics of the W2PV-C1SA2-R2: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector Type** | M12 Circular Connector | | **Gender** | Male (Plug) / Female (Socket) - *Series dependent* | | **Number of Poles** | Typically 4 or 5 Pins | | **Coding** | A-Coded (Standard for sensors/DC power) | | **Current Rating** | ~4A per contact | | **Voltage Rating** | 250V AC/DC | | **Ingress Protection** | IP67 / IP69K (Dust tight, high-pressure water resistant) | | **Mounting Style** | Panel Mount or Wire Lead | --- ### ### Core Electronic Components 1. **Contacts (Pins/Sockets):** * Made from copper alloy with **Gold (Au) plating**. Gold is used to prevent oxidation and ensure low contact resistance over thousands of mating cycles. 2. **Insulator Body:** * Constructed from high-grade PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) or TPU. This ensures high dielectric strength to prevent arcing between pins. 3. **Shielding (R2 Designation):** * The "R2" suffix often refers to specific EMI/RFI shielding configurations or a particular revision of the vibration-resistant locking mechanism. This ensures signal integrity in electrically "noisy" factory environments. 4. **Coupling Nut:** * Stainless steel or nickel-plated brass. This provides the mechanical "ground" and ensures the IP67 seal is compressed correctly. --- ### ### Wiring Configuration (Typical A-Coded) In most industrial sensor applications using this part, the pinout follows the standard DC color code: ```text Pin 1: Brown (+24V DC) Pin 2: White (Reserved / Digital Out 2) Pin 3: Blue (0V / Ground) Pin 4: Black (Switching Output / Signal) ``` --- ### ### Applications * **Factory Automation:** Connecting Proximity sensors and Photoelectric eyes. * **Food & Beverage:** The IP69K rating allows this part to withstand high-pressure "washdown" procedures. * **Robotics:** Used in end-of-arm tooling where compact, vibration-proof connections are required.
