M23 circular connector
Hummel M23 connector – An ideal connection
Connectors have become indispensable in industrial applications. They establish a secure connection of devices or components, which are then able to provide electrically conductive contacts or power and signal lines.
Their range of applications is nearly limitless, and therefore the various types of circular connectors offer the perfect solution for different industrial applications and create a secure connection. They are used in industrial automation, for example, in connecting drives and servo-motors. With different housing variants, the M23 circular connectors mainly serve the transmission of signals, power and Ethernet. The Hummel M23 connectors offer the maximum flexibility through the combination of inserts, housings and contacts.
The Hummel M23 connectors are characterised by their high-quality construction and their ease of use. M23 connectors impress in the assembly and in their functions.

M23 connector types
In comparison, M23 connectors can be distinguished above all by their design. They also come with different termination types. With straight socket, straight pin and socket or as a solder contact insert with pin and solder termination, these connectors provide all the technical variations required for a perfect connection. Crimping, for example, is used to terminate wires that transmit power and signals.
Together with versatile M23 connector accessories, a lot of time can be saved during assembly and installation. For M23 connector assembly, contact inserts, the crimp contact (power or socket), matching adapters, protective caps and your crimping pliers as M23 connector tools make work easier with maximum results.
M23 connector type comparison
The different M23 cable connector types are available in various housing designs and optionally with screw or quick lock termination. Depending on the application, these can be cable connectors, coupling connectors, angle connectors or device connectors.
M23 power connectors: This type of M23 cable connector from brand-name manufacturer Hummel is a classic. It can cover a wide range of applications and, even in difficult applications, it is an ideal solution.
M23 signal connectors: With different housing shapes, the M23 signal connectors can be installed in a wide variety of places. Due to its robust qualities, you can rely on this connection. Various locking systems such as a screw lock or the TWILOCK quick lock system are also available.
M23 hybrid connectors: These connectors are being used more and more in the field of automation and robot technology. Their strength: In a single connection, they can transmit power, signals as well as Ethernet, which saves an enormous amount of time and money. Due to the robust metal housing that protects it from external influences, the connectors are suitable for industrial applications. One solid solution for everything. With shielded transmission of data on four contacts, the M23 hybrid offers enormously high power processing on four additional contacts.
M23 RJ45 connectors: RJ stands for “Registered Jack”. This modular connector is used primarily in home environments for telephone and internet cabling. With 8 pins and 8 pins, the Ethernet connector is responsible for data exchange. This connector covers a maximum bandwidth of 500 MHz. Thanks to its sophisticated design, pre-assembled patch cables can be used.
Cable assignment/coding of M23 cable connectors
Numerous wires, a lot of data, a reliable solution. The M23 connector is coded for this purpose. Coding can prevent connectors of the same type from being confused. In addition to the arrangement of up to 19 contacts, the M23 connector coding can be achieved by means of a recess in the insulating body. Different pin quantities on the M23 cable connector solve even the most challenging signal transmission requirements.
Different number of pins on M23 connectors
Few pins, many pins, each one enables the targeted transfer of all necessary information. A compact cable also ensures an efficient connection in confined spaces. Whether M23 6-pin connector or M23 19-pin connector, they all provide maximum data transmission.
The following number of pins are available for M23 connectors:
- M23 6-pin connector
- M23 7-pin connector
- M23 8-pin connector
- M23 9-pin connector
- M23 10-pin connector
- M23 12-pin connector
- M23 16-pin connector
- M23 17-pin connector
- M23 19-pin connector
