How to prevent #connectivity #mistakes

Shield manufactures distribution boxes with M12 connectors that can have different #mating #keys (IEC 61076-2-101 standard); in this way it is not possible to mount connectors in the wrong position. Moreover, to facilitate the assembly visually, connectors may have different colours as well in addition to the key.
Very useful for maintenance when box is positioned in difficult areas or when a connection mistake could cause delays or damages.
