The M16 connector uses a 16 mm threaded coupling for a secure, vibration-resistant equipment interface. Aviation-style GX16 designs and other M16 variants are available with 2 to 19 poles, allowing power, signal, and control circuits to pass through one connection. Housing choices include nickel-plated brass, stainless steel, and polyamide, with gold-plated contacts and rubber or silicone sealing.
Match cable routing and available installation space.
Create a stable connector interface on equipment enclosures.
Assemble or adjust cable lengths during on-site installation.
Use pre-configured cable lengths and connector combinations.
Limit electromagnetic interference in sensitive signal paths.
Offer a practical choice for less demanding environments.
M16 connectors are commonly specified for aviation and instrumentation panels, multi-axis robotics, machine-tool controls, transportation equipment, and outdoor power or monitoring systems. IP67-or-higher sealing is available, while threaded locking and shielding options help maintain stable connections under vibration, moisture, dust, and EMI. Select the pole count, mounting style, cable entry, housing material, and shielding for each equipment interface.
