Engineered for Harsh Environment Connectivity Without Compromise
The Xtreme M12 by Xact is not a generic M12 derivative—it’s an industrial-grade, field-hardened interconnect system engineered specifically for mission-critical reliability in the most punishing environments. Designed with engineers in mind, this overmolded M12 solution delivers mechanical resilience, electrical integrity, and form factor versatility beyond what commercial off-the-shelf connectors can provide.
🔍 Mechanical & Environmental Integrity
- Overmolded Body with Integrated Strain Relief:
Each Xtreme M12 features a robust overmolded thermoplastic body designed to protect internal contact systems against flex fatigue, mechanical stress, and ingress. The integrated strain relief prevents conductor fatigue at the cable entry point—ideal for dynamic applications in rail and heavy automation. - Sealing & Ingress Protection:
Certified to IP67/IP68/IP69K, the Xtreme M12 resists high-pressure washdowns, oil, dust, mud, and chemical exposure—suitable for Class I Division 2 (CID2) and other hazardous locations. - Vibration & Shock Tolerance:
Validated to exceed IEC 60068-2-6 and 2-27 standards, ensuring stable signal transmission under persistent vibration (e.g., rail trucks, tracked vehicles, rotary drilling). - Crush-Resistant Architecture:
Shell and overmold withstand impact and compressive loads—surviving drops, crushing forces, and real-world mishandling common in field deployment.
🌐 Proven Across Operational Theaters
The Xtreme M12 has been field-deployed in:
- Oil & Gas surface operations (frac spreads, control cabins, SCADA I/O)
- Defense platforms, including mobile ground systems and targeting subsystems
- Mining environments with corrosive dust and mechanical shock
- Rail and transportation, exposed to vibration, freeze-thaw, and EMI
- Industrial automation, robotics, and high-cycle motion loops
This is not speculative performance. These connectors have already survived where standard components routinely fail.
🔧 Configurable Variants Available
- Connector Types: A-, B-, D-, X-, and custom keying options
- Pin Counts: 3 to 12 contacts (shielded and unshielded)
- Cable Assemblies: Available in PUR/PVC jacketed cable, TPE options, or custom overbraid for EMC-critical applications
- Termination Styles: Straight, right-angle, panel-mount receptacles, and field-wireable options
- Mating Interfaces: Brass-nickel-plated threaded coupling, coded for environmental sealing and reliable mating cycles
⚠️ Stop Relying on Commodity Connectors
If you’re specifying off-the-shelf or overseas-sourced M12s in a high-reliability system, you’re designing in a failure point. Xact’s Xtreme M12 is engineered for when standard M12s become the weakest link.
🧪 Engineered. Validated. Proven.
Built and tested under real-world load conditions—not just lab specs—the Xtreme M12 offers engineers confidence in long-term deployment without rework or failure-related downtime.
