The Banner MQDC2S-1706 Cordset is a compact, high-density connectivity solution engineered for advanced industrial automation applications. Designed with a 17-pin M12 connector on one end and flying leads on the other, this cordset provides the flexibility and capacity required for systems with multiple signal and power channels. Its rugged construction and environmental protection ensure reliable performance even in demanding operating conditions.

With a cordset length of less than 2.00 metres, the MQDC2S-1706 is tailored for close-range connections, such as linking sensors, actuators, and control devices within a confined panel or machinery layout. Its short length minimises excess cable, helping to keep wiring neat, organised, and efficient. This makes it ideal for high-density control cabinets, compact machinery, and short-distance point-to-point applications where space is limited but wiring complexity is high.

The 17-pin M12 connector offers exceptional versatility, supporting multiple input and output signals within a single connection. This high pin count makes it particularly useful for complex devices such as multi-function sensors, vision systems, and advanced fieldbus-enabled components that require more conductors than standard 3-, 4-, or 8-pin connectors can provide. The flying leads at the opposite end allow technicians to wire connections directly into terminal blocks, controllers, or custom harnesses, offering maximum flexibility in integration.

Built with an IP67 rating, the MQDC2S-1706 is fully protected against dust ingress and capable of withstanding temporary water immersion. This rugged environmental protection ensures reliable performance in harsh industrial conditions such as packaging plants, manufacturing lines, material handling systems, and outdoor applications. The cordset’s robust jacket and connector construction provide additional resistance to mechanical stress, vibration, and exposure to contaminants.

The single-ended configuration simplifies system design by combining the convenience of a standardised M12 connection with the adaptability of flying leads. This allows for seamless integration into new systems as well as retrofitting into existing installations. By reducing the need for multiple connectors or additional junctions, the MQDC2S-1706 streamlines wiring and reduces potential points of failure.

Typical applications include vision system integration, robotics, multi-signal sensor arrays, advanced control systems, and custom automation projects. The ability to carry multiple conductors within a compact cordset makes it a practical solution for engineers seeking to optimise both functionality and space efficiency without compromising reliability.

In summary, the Banner MQDC2S-1706 Cordset combines short-length efficiency, IP67-rated durability, a high-capacity 17-pin M12 connector, and flexible flying lead termination. Designed for modern industrial automation, it provides a dependable and versatile solution for complex wiring needs in compact, high-performance applications.
