Category Insights

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.

M17 connectors are widely used in miniature sensors and compact industrial equipment. Perfect for small photoelectric sensors and limit switches in tight spaces. Commonly found in medical devices requiring tiny, sealed connections. Used in portable measurement instruments and handheld test equipment. Applied in drone electronics and compact robotic joints. Suitable for small control units in automation systems. Found in LED lighting fixtures needing weatherproof connections. Their small size makes them ideal for wearable tech and IoT devices. Often used where space constraints rule out larger connector options.

M17 is significantly smaller than M12 (17mm vs 12mm threads). It carries less current and has fewer pin options. Both offer similar environmental protection. Choose M17 when space is extremely limited. M12 remains better for higher-power applications.

Most M17 connectors support 1-3A per contact. Current capacity depends on pin material and configuration. Always verify manufacturer specifications. High-quality versions may reach 4A. Proper wire sizing is essential for safety.

Standard M17 connectors typically have IP67 rating (1m waterproof). Some specialized versions achieve IP68. Proper installation maintains protection. Check specific model ratings for your application needs.

Mainly in ultra-compact industrial sensors. Popular in medical and wearable devices. Used in drones and small robotics. Common in handheld test equipment. Ideal for space-constrained IoT applications.

They accept very small diameter cables (2-5mm). Flexible and lightweight cables are preferred. Use proper strain relief for moving parts. Match cable material to environment (PUR for harsh conditions). Always follow manufacturer's guidelines.
