We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "M12 Connectors", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
 
Start with the news release More options in magnetic field sensors from Balluff UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "Sensors are encased in aluminium housings, making them highly resistant to mechanical stress". A few weeks before, we featured the news release Temperature sensors promise faster response from IFM Electronic: "TT temperature sensors guarantee accurate and reliable processes thanks to their fast response times".
 
In November 2007, we covered the news from Omron Electronics concerning its XS5W series - take a look at Industrial connectors turn to security which says: "Industrial M12 connectors from Omron feature a simple, secure, 'smart click' locking mechanism, yet retain full compatibility with the traditional screw lock styles".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Omron Scientific Technologies, Light curtains offer simple installation, as well as Connector range receives expansion from IFM Electronic, and Temperature sensors provide fast readings from IFM Electronic.
