Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the M23 internal thread and external thread connector?
A: The internal thread (female thread) connector has threads on the inside of the coupling nut, while the external thread (male thread) connector has threads on the outside. They are designed to mate with their counterpart — choose based on your existing panel mount or cable assembly specification.
Q: Is this M23 17-pin connector compatible with standard servo and encoder systems?
A: Yes. The M23 / M623 series is a widely adopted industrial circular connector standard commonly used in servo drives, encoder feedback systems, and motion control applications. The 17-pin layout supports both signal and power conductors in a single, secure connection.
Q: What material is the connector body made from?
A: The connector is constructed from stainless steel, providing excellent corrosion resistance, mechanical durability, and a long service life even in harsh industrial environments.
Q: Is this sold as a single unit?
A: Yes, this listing is for a single connector — either a plug or a socket (male or female), as selected. Please ensure you select the correct gender and thread type for your application.
