Compact robust design, hermetically sealed in stainless steel shells for corrosion resistance.
Connector Specifications
These connectors are miniature threaded, hermetically sealed connectors that are designed to meet and exceed the mechanical and environmental requirements IEC-61076-2-101 with fixed pin contacts, fused into a glass dielectric insert. These connectors are available as receptacle with eyelet, solder bucket and/or pcb contacts.

Receptacle Types
The shell mounting configuration for the Square Flange and Jam Nut is interchangeable with that of mil-c-26482, shell size 8.

Custom Specific Requirements
Martec has the facilities to design and manufacture special hermetic connectors based on the M12 range and other connector specifi cations, to meet customers' stringent individual requirements for environmental, mechanical and mounting conditions. All Martec M-M12 connectors are designed to exceed IP68 in an unmated state.
These connectors have a wide variety of applications and can be found in most industry sectors, such
as transport and instrumentation, for use with proximity switches, sensors and interconnection in harsh environmental conditions.
Construction
Standard Hermetic connectors are sealed by fusing a single piece glass insert into a machined Stainless Steel Shell. The pin contacts are permanently fused into the insert. To maintain thermal compatability with the glass insert, the contacts are manufactured from a nickel alloy.
The protective plating on the pin contacts is electro-deposited gold over nickel. The Jam Nut is supplied with a fluorosilicone rubber o-ring for panel sealing. All Martec M-M12 hermetic connectors are RoSH compliant.
