Shop circular microphone and M12 connectors for audio equipment, industrial controls, sensors and electronic equipment connections. Wallco offers male, female, cable-mount, panel-mount and right-angle configurations across multiple contact counts.
Compare connectors by connector family, contact count, gender, mounting method, orientation and equipment requirements.
Circular connectors provide compact, mechanically secure interfaces for audio equipment, industrial controls, sensors and other electronic systems. Connector families can look similar while using different dimensions, contact arrangements and mating mechanisms, so the specific connector series should be verified before selection.
Circular microphone connectors are used with audio, communications and specialty electronic equipment. Available configurations can include cable-mounted plugs and receptacles as well as chassis- and panel-mounted versions.
Circular microphone connectors may be available with several contact counts. Common configurations include 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6- and 7-pin designs. Contact count, shell dimensions and keying should all be matched to the mating connector.
M12 connectors are widely associated with industrial sensors, automation equipment and machine-level connections. Several coding, contact and termination configurations exist within the M12 family, so equipment requirements should be confirmed before ordering.
Cable-mount circular connectors are used when building or repairing cable assemblies. Verify the intended cable diameter, conductor count, termination method and strain-relief requirements when selecting a connector.
Panel- and chassis-mount versions provide fixed equipment interfaces. Front-mount and rear-mount designs can use different mechanical arrangements, making panel thickness, mounting-hole pattern and connector orientation important.
Right-angle circular connectors can help route cables in confined equipment spaces, while straight connectors are commonly used where cable clearance is available directly behind the connection.
Identify whether the required component is male or female and confirm that the shell, keying and contact arrangement match the mating connector. A matching contact count alone does not guarantee compatibility between different circular connector families.
Start with the connector family and equipment interface. Then verify contact count, gender, mounting method, orientation and termination style. For M12 applications, also confirm the required coding and application-specific interface requirements.
