What is the connector shown on the images below? I need to create some more cables with this connector on one side to connect to one of our devices, but unfortunately, I have no idea what type of connector this is.

After being cut open:

enter image description here

As you can see, it is a 2-pin connector with a female thread on the inside. The metal housing is 16 mm long (scale is in cm), the inner black part of the connector is 6 mm in diameter. It has an alignment groove and two offset pin holes. The letter on its front appears to be a capital "G". The connector is used as part of a warning light system, and carries a few volts of DC voltage with almost no current.

  • \$\begingroup\$ @rdtsc No, certainly not an IEC M8 connector. IEC M8 connectors look very different. \$\endgroup\$

I have finally identified the connector: It is a M9 IP40, Female cable connector, Series 711 connector from binder:

What ultimately led me to this was a string of lucky coincidences, where I noticed the company logo in a product catalog, which I incorrectly identified at "G" before:

By now I have received the connectors, and they are indeed the correct ones.

It's a circular connector.

EDIT: It's not a GX connector. It has a mating diameter of 6 mm, so it's too small for a GX, which start at 12 mm.

EDIT 2: here is it in my connector identification utility, thanks to @ Lukas Lang

    \$\begingroup\$ Thanks, that website looks extremely helpful! (Unfortunately, I did not find it during my quick googling before when I was looking for something like it). As I now note in the updated question, the scale is in cm. The black part is around 6mm in diameter. I took a quick look through the list of connectors, you have identified, but so far, most of them seemed too big \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ Yeah, I can't find anything with a 6 mm mating diameter that looks like that. Sorry. I removed my answer. \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ no problem, thanks for your help anyways! The connector style did seem very promising without knowing the size... (Maybe you could keep a link to your identification tool in your answer? While it did not have the correct connector this time, it's still a tool one should know about when looking to identify a connector. And the more "connector identification questions have a link to it, the more likely it is to be found by people looking for their connector) \$\endgroup\$
