For this connector, it named M16 connector, and it is use for assemble cable, so there would be some requirements about the cable:

(In the UL type connector we have 2PIN &3PIN models, for each PIN number the external dimensions are all the same.)

2PIN Connectors and 3PIN connectors model are the same, so the length about M16 connector is about 88.5mm(

This is the length of the male and female connectors when assembled), the head width is 20.5 mm(Suitable for environments with a width of 20.5 mm or more).

That is precisely why the width of the connector head determines the maximum wire size that can be accommodated inside it. For this connector it can support the cable outside diameter is between 4.5mm-7.5mm, if below 4.5mm the connector doesn't secure the cable properly, water may enter the connector, leading to a short circuit; and if over 7.5mm the cable cannot be inserted into the connector, so the connector cannot be used to connect the cable.

This part disassembles the connector, revealing its internal structure and materials:

Basic Body: The main gray cylindrical housing made from high-strength engineering plastic, providing mechanical protection and insulation.

Waterproof Rubber Core: The red/pink ring visible between the two halves. This is the critical sealing element that achieves the IP67/IP68 waterproof rating by compressing to fill gaps.

Core Terminal: The gold-plated pins inside the housing.

(Male / Female): Indicates the series includes both male (pins) and female (sockets) options.

Gold-Plated Brass: Specifies the terminal material is brass with a gold plating, ensuring low contact resistance, excellent conductivity, and corrosion resistance.

Loosen the Tightening Nut: The knurled gray caps on both ends. These are twisted open to insert the cable and then tightened to secure the seal and terminals.

Segment Dimensions:

Left nut section: 33.5 mm 

Left body section: 32.5 mm 

Right body section: 31 mm 

Right nut section: 13 mm

This image is a step-by-step installation guide for the AGHUA M16 Waterproof Connector, showing how to join two cables.

It demonstrates the process in four simple stages:

1. Disassembled State (Top): Shows the connector fully taken apart into its two halves, revealing the internal components: the locking nuts, gray outer casings, and the gold-plated terminals ready for wires.

2. Wire Insertion (Second from top): Shows the two halves brought together with the wires (yellow, blue) inserted into the terminals. You can see the red waterproof rubber seal in the center.

3. Housing Joined (Third from top): The outer casings are brought together and partially screwed in.

4. Fully Locked (Bottom): The final assembled state. Both ends are fully tightened, creating a completely sealed, waterproof joint.

In short: This diagram visually instructs the user to insert wires into the terminals, push the housings together, and tighten the nuts to create a secure, waterproof connection.

Here is a concise breakdown of the image:

This is a Size Chart for M16 Waterproof Connector Seal Rings. It helps users select the correct rubber gasket based on their cable thickness to ensure a watertight seal.

If you are not sure what the cable's OD, here are some cable gauge for your reference, (this is some common cable gauge it is just for your reference, Pls refer to the specifications of your own cable).

And there are also other PIN for you choose, like 4PIN/5PIN/6PIN..., check the wire gauge and the current and make a design, then we will help you to choose a solution according to the design.Thanks!
