Precautions
Note: 1. See “XS5/XS2 - Assembly Tooling and Accessories” datasheet for information and precautions regarding assembly, tooling and accessories that
are common to the XS5 and XS2 connectors
2. See “XS2” datasheet for specifics regarding those connectors
■ Correct Use
■ Connecting the XS5
Do not use the Connectors in an atmosphere or environment that
exceeds the specifications.
Connector Connection and Disconnection
• When connecting or disconnecting Connectors, be sure to hold the
Connectors by hand.
• Do not hold the cable when disconnecting Connectors.
• When mating Connectors, be sure to insert the plug all the way to
the back of the socket before attempting to lock the Connectors.
• Do not use tools of any sort to mate the Connectors. Always use
your hands. Pliers or other tools may damage the Connectors.
• When mating the Connectors to XS2 or other M12 Connectors,
tighten the lock by hand to a torque of 0.39 to 0.49 N⋅m.
Wiring
• Always confirm wiring diagrams before wiring sensors, limit
switches, or other devices.
• Lay the cables so that external force is not applied to the
Connectors. Otherwise, the degree of protection (IP67) may not
be achieved.
Degree of Protection
• The degree of protection of Connectors (IP67) is not for a fully
watertight structure. Do not the Connectors underwater.
• Do not step on or place any objects on the Connectors. Doing so
may damage the Connectors.
■ General Precautions
• Do not pull excessively on the Connectors or cables. Do not install
the Connectors or cables in any way that would place a load
directly on the mating section or cable connections. Doing so can
damage the Connectors or break the wires inside the cables.
• Install the Connectors and cables where they will not be stepped
on to prevent the wires inside the cables from being broken and to
prevent the Connectors from being damaged. If the Connectors or
cables must be installed where they might be stepped on, protect
them with covers.
• Refer to the specifications for your cables before bending the
cables and do not bend them past their minimum bending radius.
• If sensors or switches are not attached during installation, protect
the mating surface of the Connector with a XS2Z-22 Waterproof
Cover of XS2Z-14/15 Dust Cover.
1. Connecting the XS5 Plug and Socket
• Align the projection on the plug cover with the polarity key on the
socket, then insert the plug all the way in.

• Hold the knurled socket grip, then insert the projection on the plug
into the groove of the socket.
• Turn the knurled grips of the socket clockwise approximately
45 degrees in respect to the plug. A click will indicate that the
Connectors are locked. The locking condition can also be
confirmed by the alignment marks on the plug and socket.

2. Connecting the XS5 and XS2
• Align the projection on the plug cover with the polarity key on the
socket, then insert the plug all the way in.
• In the same way as when connecting two XS2 Connectors, screw
the knurled grip in the clockwise direction.
• Use your fingers to tighten the Connectors sufficiently.
