How a connector gets wired often decides how reliable it stays over years of service. Crimped and IDC terminations get most of the attention in industrial wiring discussions. But for many M-Series applications, the humble solder type connectors is still the preferred choice, and for good reason. This guide walks through solder type male and […]

When electrical connections need to pass cleanly and securely through an enclosure, the connector itself is only part of the solution. The way that connector is mounted to the panel can have a direct impact on installation, accessibility, wiring organisation and the overall reliability of the connection. This is where panel mounting sockets become an […]

At the top of the M-Series range sits the connector built for the heaviest jobs: driving large motors, feeding industrial drives, and holding up under continuous high-current load in some of the toughest plant environments. This is the territory of the M23 connectors high current applications depend on, the largest and most robust size in […]

Robotic arms and automated cells rarely need just one type of connection at a joint or housing. They need power for motors, signal lines for feedback, and sometimes auxiliary control circuits. These connections must fit within limited space as robots become more compact. This practical need drives the use of M16 connectors robotics applications. A […]

A servo drive depends on an accurate feedback signal. A loose connection, electrical noise, or poor sealing can disrupt that signal. The entire motion control loop can then suffer without an obvious cause. The M15 connectors encoder interface addresses this problem. This connector size suits applications that need reliable position and speed feedback from the […]

Industrial networks rely on more than switches and cabling. Each connector must handle vibration, dust, and constant plugging and unplugging. It must also maintain a reliable connection without becoming the weak link in the plant’s data backbone. This is where the M12 connectors earns its place as the most specified size in the M-Series range. […]

This guide explains where M8 connectors fit, what to look for, and how to choose the right one for your project. When factories connect sensors and actuators, they often use the M8 connector application for automation cabling. M8 connectors offer a compact design, quick installation, and reliable connections. They also support repeated connect-disconnect cycles. This […]

M-Series connectors are compact, circular connectors that provide reliable power, signal, and data transmission across demanding industrial environments. If you are comparing circular connector types for a new design or trying to standardise your sourcing, understanding the full M-Series range from M5 to M23 makes the selection process far simpler. This guide breaks down each […]

Walking a large trade show floor without a plan usually means missing the stalls that actually matter to your project. If you are an OEM engineer or procurement lead heading to the upcoming Electronica exhibition 2026, here is a short checklist. It will help make sure a stop at OxConnections gets you a useful outcome […]

A connector can work perfectly on a lab bench and still fail within months in the field. Dust, washdown cycles, and monsoon humidity can all affect connector performance. Our IP-rated connectors manufacturer range helps close this gap between lab performance and field performance. Ox Connections will demonstrate this range at Electronica Exhibition 2026 this year. […]
