SICK STE-1204-GZ Sensor
SICK STE-1204-GZ field-attachable connector, part 6048261. M12 4-pole IDC quick connection for on-site cable assembly.
Overview
The SICK STE-1204-GZ (part number 6048261) is a field-attachable connector with IDC quick connection technology. It allows an M12 sensor cable to be assembled on site, combining the wiring flexibility of open cables with the convenience of a circular connector at the sensor end.
How It Works
The cable is connected inside the connector body using insulation displacement contacts (IDC), which pierce the insulation and create a reliable connection without soldering. The assembled connector then mates with the sensor's M12 port.
