Why Choose the Pizzato VF PC21B6 Coded Protective Covers?
The Pizzato VF PC21B6 is a set of coded protective covers for M12 connectors integrated into safety devices. The covers provide an effective anti-tampering solution by enclosing the M12 connection and preventing the connector from being detached without visibly damaging the protective cover.
Each protective cover consists of two identical half-shells that snap around the M12 connector. Once installed, the shells can only be removed by breaking them, making attempts to disconnect or tamper with the protected connector immediately evident. Pizzato's coding system provides tens of thousands of different combinations, supporting enhanced protection against unauthorised substitution.
The VF PC21B6 is manufactured from blue detectable technopolymer for applications such as food-processing machinery. The material can be detected during production using common optical vision systems, X-rays and metal detectors, helping support contamination-control requirements in sensitive industrial environments.
Key Advantages
- Provides tamper-evident protection for integrated M12 connectors.
- Two-piece snap-on construction prevents normal connector removal after installation.
- Protective cover must be broken for removal, making tampering readily apparent.

- 2D and 3D technical files available from Pizzato.
Tamper-Evident Protection for M12 Safety Connections
Unauthorised disconnection or substitution of connectors can compromise the integrity of a machine safety installation. The Pizzato VF PC21B6 addresses this risk by enclosing an integrated M12 connector in coded half-shells that cannot be removed intact once snapped into position. Any attempt to access the connector therefore leaves clear physical evidence.
The blue detectable technopolymer version is particularly useful in food-processing environments. Its material is designed to be identifiable using common optical inspection technology, X-ray systems or metal detectors, combining connector tamper protection with characteristics suited to contamination-sensitive production processes.
Typical Applications
- Food and beverage processing machinery.
- Packaging and bottling equipment.
- Industrial machine safety systems.
- Tamper protection for integrated M12 safety connectors.
- Robotic cells and automated production equipment.
- Compatible Pizzato NX, NS, ST and SR series devices.
- Production environments using optical, X-ray or metal-detection inspection systems.
- Safety installations requiring visible evidence of connector tampering.
