The M12 thread (12mm diameter) provides a secure screw-lock mating mechanism that resists accidental disconnection from vibration. The fixed rear nut design allows the socket to be panel-mounted by threading the rear nut onto the connector body from behind the panel — creating a flush, secure panel-mount interface without requiring a separate mounting bracket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e GX12 (12mm thread diameter)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePin Configurations:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 pin (select above)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5A per contact (2–5 pin); 3A per contact (6–7 pin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 250V AC\/DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Copper alloy, gold-plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHousing Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zinc alloy body, PVC insulator\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIP Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e IP50 (not waterproof — for indoor\/protected use)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePanel Cutout:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12mm diameter hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 pieces (5 male + 5 female sets)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGX12 vs GX16 vs GX20 — Size Selection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGX12 (12mm, this product):\u003c\/strong\u003e Smallest standard size. 5A per contact.

Insert the socket body through the hole from the front. Thread the rear nut onto the connector body from behind the panel and tighten. The connector is now fixed to the panel. Connect wires to the solder cups or crimp contacts on the rear of the socket.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\"Are GX12 connectors waterproof?\"\u003c\/em\u003e — No. Standard GX12 connectors are rated IP50 (dust-protected, not water-resistant). For waterproof applications, use M12 industrial connectors (IP67) or Deutsch DT series connectors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\"What is the maximum current for a GX12 7-pin connector?\"\u003c\/em\u003e — 3A per contact for 6–7 pin configurations. Total connector current must not exceed the rating of the smallest contact. Do not use GX12 for high-current applications — use DT or Anderson connectors instead.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\"Can I solder wires to GX12 contacts?\"\u003c\/em\u003e — Yes. GX12 contacts have solder cups on the rear. Use a fine-tip soldering iron, 60\/40 or lead-free solder, and heat-shrink tubing to insulate each solder joint. Crimp-type GX12 contacts are also available for higher-volume assembly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScientific instruments:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sensor connections, probe interfaces, data acquisition system inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAudio\/video equipment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intercom systems, stage lighting control, camera power connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustrial equipment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Control panel connections, machine interface wiring, indicator light circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDIY electronics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Custom enclosure connections, modular power supplies, test equipment interfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRobotics:\u003c\/strong\u003e End-of-arm tooling connections, sensor interfaces, modular robot wiring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePackage Contents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10 pieces — 5 sets of male plug + female socket (pin count as selected above).
