Description
IFM E70471 Flat Cable Connector M12 – quick AS-i/aux power tap for sensors and actuators
The IFM E70471 is a rugged flat-cable piercing connector that creates a reliable M12 interface directly on AS-Interface or auxiliary 24 V flat cable runs. Designed for harsh automation environments, it enables fast, tool-free drops to sensors, actuators, valve systems, and I/O on conveyors, packaging lines, and assembly machinery without cutting or stripping the cable.
Key Benefits
