GX12 Waterproof Connector Sourcing from China
1 resources tagged with "Gx12 Connector"
The GX12 is a 12mm-thread circular aviation connector widely used on sensors, LED signage, and small motor leads, available in 2 to 7 pins and typically rated IP67 when mated. Genuine GX12 contacts handle roughly 3-5A per pin; the common China-market failure is a plated-brass shell sold as 'aviation grade' that corrodes outdoors. MOQ from Wenzhou/Yueqing connector makers usually starts around 100-500 mated sets with 15-25 day lead times.
When sourcing GX12 you are buying a thread-coupling connector, not a push-pull or bayonet — confirm the male/female gender and pin count match your harness, since shells look identical. We check current rating against your load, the IP67 claim with a real gasket present, and contact plating (gold-flash vs bare brass).

FAQ
How many amps can a GX12 connector carry?
Roughly 3-5A per pin depending on contact size and pin count. For higher current step up to GX16 or GX20, which use larger contacts.
Is the GX12 actually waterproof?
It reaches IP67 only when fully mated with the rubber gasket present and the coupling threaded down tight. An unmated or ungasketed connector offers no real ingress protection, so confirm the gasket is included.
