The part number **PXPPVC12RAM04ACL050PVC** refers to a high-quality industrial connectivity component, specifically an M12 circular connector cable assembly manufactured by **Bulgin**. Below is a detailed breakdown of the electronic and physical specifications based on the alphanumeric code. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Breakdown | Segment | Code | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Series** | PXP | Bulgin Buccaneer M12 Series (Standard Industrial) | | **Cable Material** | PVC | Polyvinyl Chloride (General purpose insulation) | | **Connector Size** | 12 | M12 (12mm thread diameter) | | **Body Style** | RAM | Right Angle Male | | **Coding** | A | A-Coded (Standard for sensors, DC power, and actuators) | | **Pin Count** | 04 | 4 Poles / 4 Pins | | **Coupling Nut** | CL | Metal Screw Nut (Nickel-plated brass) | | **Length** | 050 | 5.0 Meters | | **Jacket** | PVC | Outer Jacket Material | --- ### 2. Electronic Characteristics * **Coding (A-Coded):** This is the most common coding for industrial automation. It is designed to prevent mismatching with Ethernet (D-coded) or Power (L/S-coded) lines. * **Current Rating:** Typically **4A** per contact. * **Voltage Rating:** Usually rated for **250V AC/DC** (specific to 4-pole configurations). * **Contact Resistance:** $< 10 m\Omega$ to ensure minimal signal loss. * **Insulation Resistance:** $> 100 M\Omega$ at 500V DC. --- ### 3. Physical & Environmental Attributes * **Ingress Protection:** When mated, these connectors typically provide **IP67, IP68, or IP69K** protection, making them waterproof and dust-tight. * **Right Angle (RAM):** The 90-degree bend is ideal for tight spaces where a straight connector would protrude too far or cause cable strain. * **PVC Cable:** Best suited for static applications in non-harsh environments. It offers good resistance to moisture but is less flexible than PUR (Polyurethane) in extreme cold or continuous motion (robotics) environments. --- ### 4.
