The **RST5L-RKT5L-1002SW** is a high-performance industrial cordset typically used in automation and power distribution. It features an M12 Power connector system, specifically designed for high-current applications where standard M12 connectors would fail. --- ### Technical Specifications The following table outlines the primary electrical and mechanical characteristics of this component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector Type** | M12 Power (L-Coded) | | **Configuration** | Male Straight (RST) to Female Angled (RKT) | | **Number of Poles** | 5-Pole (4 + FE - Functional Earth) | | **Rated Voltage** | 63 V DC | | **Rated Current** | 16 A per contact | | **Cable Jacket Material** | PUR (Polyurethane) - Halogen Free | | **Protection Class** | IP65, IP67, IP69K (When mated) | | **Operating Temperature** | -40°C to +125°C (Connector) | --- ### Electronic and Material Components #### 1. L-Coding System The "L-Coded" interface is the electronic heart of this part. Unlike standard A-coded sensor cables, L-coding is specifically designed for **DC power supply**. It prevents accidental plugging into data ports, ensuring that the high-current 16A supply does not damage sensitive I/O modules. #### 2. Contact Design The internal pins are typically made of **Gold-plated Copper Alloy**. * **Gold Plating:** Ensures low contact resistance and prevents oxidation over time. * **Current Capacity:** The thickness and surface area are engineered to handle 16 Amps continuously without overheating. #### 3. Cable Construction (1002SW) The `1002` suffix refers to the specific cable type (standardized wire gauge and jacket), and `SW` often denotes a black color. * **Wire Cross-Section:** Usually 1.5mm² or 2.5mm² to support high current. * **Shielding:** Generally unshielded for power applications, focusing on flexibility and durability. #### 4. Housing and Insulation * **TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane):** Used for the overmold to provide strain relief. * **FKM O-Rings:** High-grade synthetic rubber seals that maintain the IP rating against water and oils. --- ### Common Applications * **Profinet Power Supply:** Powering decentralized I/O blocks. * **Robotics:** Handling power distribution for articulated arms. * **Fieldbus Systems:** Standardized power solution for Ethernet/IP and Profinet devices.
