WEIPU M16 Cable Plug — Compact Circular Connectors for Industrial Applications

WEIPU M16 Cable Plug collection delivers compact, high-reliability circular connectors designed for harsh industrial and mission-critical environments. Built for repeatable sealing, dependable contacts and compact installation, these small-threaded plugs simplify wiring for sensors, actuators, fieldbus nodes and I/O where space is limited but performance cannot be compromised.

M16-sized cable plugs provide an efficient balance between size and capability. Their compact metric M16 thread makes them ideal where panel cutouts or tight cable routing preclude larger circular connectors. WEIPU’s M16 portfolio includes both cable-mount and panel-mount styles, multiple contact layouts and locking options so integrators can match mechanical form and electrical function without over-building.

• Mount types: straight cable plugs, right-angle cable plugs, and panel-mounted sockets
• Contact options: 2 to multi-contact signal and mixed layouts for power and data
• Sealing and protection: IP-rated gaskets and IP69K-capable assemblies for washdown and outdoor use
• Termination styles: solder-pin, crimp contacts, and PCB-mount interfaces

Beyond form factor, WEIPU focuses on the real-world problems these connectors solve: quick field replacement, robust mating under vibration, and clear polarity/keying to avoid miswiring. For machine builders, the result is reduced downtime and faster assembly lines; for OEMs, consistent fit and documented repeatability.

Performance, Compliance, and Custom Solutions from WEIPU

WEIPU has been shaping industrial connectivity since 1996. As a principal drafter of the GB/T 11918-2014 national standard and a certified supplier to rail and automotive sectors, WEIPU combines design authority with global manufacturing scale.

Choosing the Right M16 Connector for Your Project

Selecting the correct M16 cable plug is more than matching a thread size. Consider these decisive factors to ensure long-term reliability:

• Electrical requirements: contact type, current and voltage ratings, and whether mixed signal/power contacts are needed
• Environmental demands: IP rating, temperature range and resistance to chemicals or sterilization
• Mechanical constraints: mating cycles, vibration tolerance, cable diameter and strain relief design
• Termination and installation: crimp vs solder, tool availability and field-repairability
• Traceability and compliance: order components with lot traceability and the required industry certifications

When in doubt, WEIPU’s technical team helps match electrical and mechanical requirements to a compact M16 design or recommends an alternate series if higher current or special environmental resistance is required.
