Q: Which connector should be selected for smart switches in smart homes?

A: The M8 series (2Pin/4Pin, IP65) is recommended. With a compact size (8mm in diameter), it can be embedded in wall switch boxes (depth ≤30mm) and features a plugging force of <10N for manual operation by ordinary users without tools. It has low power consumption (current ≤1mA), suitable for battery-powered smart switches with a battery life of ≥1 year, and supports Zigbee/Wi-Fi protocols (compatible with Mi Home and Huawei smart home systems). The IP65 protection rating resists the humid environments of bathrooms and kitchens.
