Product Description: SAI M23 Connectors
SAI M23
A comprehensive product line of connectors,

distributors and cables
M23 connectors are mainly used for connecting electrical drives

and servo-motors into industrial automation applications.
The M23 connectors are very easy to handle and operate.
In addition to the injection-moulded variants and the SAI
distributors with M23 connectors, Weidmüller is now offering
customisable versions and built in plugs.

The M23 built in connector
The M23 built in connector provides a
custom fit solution for building directly
into the device.
M23 connectors for crimping

M23 connectors are easy to handle and
operate. This is supported by the type of
crimping that is used.
Robust metal housing

The M23 connectors feature an extra
robust design.
