Mencom Corp. recently unveiled its new front-locking nut technology for its M12 connectors. These front-mount receptacles with front lock nut are designed for thread mount applications that need specific keyway orientations due to space constraints or other unexpected engineering situations. The new front-lock nut receptacles allow the keyway to be freely rotated to any orientation required by simply adjusting the connector and the front lock nut. When using traditional front thread mount receptacles, you have no control which direction the keyway ends up after the thread is fully engaged. This new technology can eliminate that issue.
