1. Measure diameter
Use calipers across the relevant mating or threaded section. Add annotated photographs for the M15, M17 and KS M18 families here.
Do not identify a connector from voltage alone. Compare the physical interface before ordering an adapter.

Measure centre-to-centre spacing and pin diameter. Record whether the contacts are male or female.
Look for flats, slots, notches, ribs or other polarising features. Similar diameters do not necessarily mean compatible connectors.
| M15 family | Photos and confirmed dimensions to be added. |
| M17 family | Two-pin connector used by some generic low-voltage systems. |
| KS M18 | OpenLVB name for the larger connector found on selected Konstsmide low-voltage products. |
