The M17 electrical connector is a compact, circular connector with a 17mm threaded locking mechanism. Designed for space-sensitive applications, it's smaller than M19 but larger than micro connectors. It typically features 2-4 pins for power or signal transmission. Many models offer IP67/IP68 protection against dust and water. The threaded coupling ensures secure connections in vibrating environments. Available in plastic or metal housings for different durability needs. Commonly used where standard connectors are too large but robust connections are required. Ideal for small industrial devices needing reliable performance in tight spaces.
