2TLA020055R0200 ABB M12-3E M12 Y-Connector

Why Choose the ABB M12-3E M12 Y-Connector?

The ABB M12-3E, order code 2TLA020055R0200, is an M12 Y-connector designed for connection applications within ABB machine-safety systems. Part of ABB's safety accessories range, it enables two different safety or non-safety circuits to be carried using a single cable connection to an ABB Pluto safety PLC.

The M12-3E is specifically configured with two 5-pole M12 female connectors for the two connected circuits and one 5-pole M12 male connector for connection to the IQ terminals of a Pluto safety PLC. This arrangement provides a compact way to connect two DYNlink devices, or one DYNlink device and one light button, while reducing the amount of separate cabling required.

Designed for industrial machine-safety installations, the connector has a 24 V rated voltage and an IP67 degree of protection when mounted. Its compact Y-adapter format makes it particularly useful where reliable M12 connectivity and simplified field wiring are required around machinery and automation equipment.

Key Advantages

• Purpose-designed M12 Y-connector for ABB safety systems.
• Allows two different safety or non-safety circuits to use one cable.
• Suitable for connecting two DYNlink devices or one DYNlink device and one light button.
• Provides two M12-5 female connections and one M12-5 male connection.
• Designed for connection to IQs on ABB Pluto safety PLCs.
• IP67 protection when mounted supports demanding industrial installations.

• Designed for compact and efficient machine-safety field wiring.

Reliable Connectivity for Machine-Safety Systems

Industrial safety installations often require several field devices and circuits to be connected to a central safety controller while keeping machine wiring compact and manageable. The ABB M12-3E provides a dedicated Y-connection arrangement that combines two circuits into one cable path, helping simplify installation and reduce unnecessary field cabling.

Its two M12-5 female branches provide connections for the first and second circuits, while the M12-5 male connection interfaces with IQs on an ABB Pluto safety PLC. This makes the M12-3E a practical connection accessory for DYNlink-based machine-safety architectures and associated control devices.

Typical Applications

• ABB Pluto safety PLC installations.
• DYNlink machine-safety systems.
• Connection of two DYNlink devices using one cable.
• Connection of a DYNlink device and light button.
• Industrial machine guarding and safety circuits.
• Factory automation and production machinery.
