Connector guide

Identify your connector

Do not identify a connector from voltage alone. Compare the physical interface before ordering an adapter.

1. Measure diameter

Use calipers across the relevant mating or threaded section. Add annotated photographs for the M15, M17 and KS M18 families here.

2. Measure pin spacing

Measure centre-to-centre spacing and pin diameter. Record whether the contacts are male or female.

3. Check keying

Look for flats, slots, notches, ribs or other polarising features. Similar diameters do not necessarily mean compatible connectors.

Known connector families

M15 familyPhotos and confirmed dimensions to be added.
M17 familyTwo-pin connector used by some generic low-voltage systems.
KS M18OpenLVB name for the larger connector found on selected Konstsmide low-voltage products.
Measure first. This guide is deliberately self-service. If the dimensions do not match, do not order based only on appearance or brand.
