Eaton 107412 M22-USB-SA USB 3.0 A/A with connection cable 0.6 m content_copy

The Eaton M22-USB-SA is an industrial mounting socket designed specifically for front mounting in control panels and control enclosures. The device features a USB Type-A connector and is designed for use in environments with high mechanical and climatic stress requirements. The socket supports the USB 2.0 specification and is therefore compatible with a wide range of standard USB devices used in automation and industrial applications. The mounting socket is supplied with a pre-wired cable featuring a permanently attached USB Type-A plug and a cable length of 0.6 meters. This cable construction enables a direct and reliable connection without the need for additional extensions or adapters.

Applications

The M22-USB-SA is intended for use in industrial control systems, particularly in small PLC systems. It is suitable for front mounting in enclosures, control panels, or machine controls where a robust and easily accessible interface is required for external devices such as flash drives, keyboards, or industrial USB peripherals. The IP65 protection rating (with closed cover) makes the device suitable for outdoor use or in environments with dust, splashing water, or humid air. In the plugged-in state, the protection rating reduces to IP65, allowing use in enclosed, dry indoor spaces. The mounting socket is not intended for connection to SmartWire-DT, distinguishing it from specific fieldbus systems.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The socket features an insertion resistance of 100 MΩ, ensuring high electrical insulation and protection against short circuits. The rated voltage is 5 V, and the rated current is 0.9 A, which is within the USB 2.0 specification and sufficient to power standard USB devices. The mounting socket is equipped with a titanium front ring, enabling secure and durable mounting into the front panel. Color options include Black, Silver, and White, offering flexibility in control panel design and enabling visual harmonization with other components. The socket is delivered as a single unit without additional components or accessories.

Technology Explained Simply

USB 2.0 technology enables data transfer rates up to 480 Mbit/s, which is sufficient for most industrial applications. The pre-wired cable with a fixed plug ensures a stable connection, unaffected by loose cables or connectors. The IP65 protection rating means the device is dust-tight and protected against splashing water from all directions, making it suitable for use in production environments with high contamination or moisture risks. The operating temperature range of -20 °C to +70 °C allows use in demanding climatic conditions commonly found in industrial settings.

Compatibility and Accessories

The M22-USB-SA is compatible with USB 2.0 devices featuring a Type-A plug. The pre-wired cable with a 0.6 m length enables direct connection to internal USB ports without requiring additional extensions or adapters. The socket is not designed for use with SmartWire-DT systems, defining its role as a universal interface for general USB peripherals. The number of poles is 9, indicating the internal electrical configuration and being relevant for correct wiring.

Mounting and Installation

The mounting socket is designed for front mounting and is installed using the titanium front ring into the designated hole in the control panel front or enclosure. Installation requires no additional tools or aids, as the front ring ensures secure fastening. Dimensions are 29.7 mm (width), 52.2 mm (depth), and 29.7 mm (height), defining the mounting size for front panel planning. The weight is 44 g, facilitating handling and installation.

Advantages in Operation

The robust construction and IP65 protection rating ensure high reliability in industrial environments. The pre-wired cable with a fixed plug reduces the risk of connection errors and simplifies maintenance. Universal compatibility with USB 2.0 devices enables flexible use in various application scenarios. The color options and titanium front ring contribute to aesthetic and functional integration into industrial control panels. The mounting socket is certified to CE, UL, and CSA standards, confirming compliance with international safety and quality requirements.
