The outer diameter of the M12 connector does have something to do with the "12" in its name, but it refers to the thread diameter, not the overall outer diameter. The thread diameter of the M12 connector is about 12 mm, which is the size specified in the international standard IEC 61076-2-101.

M12 connectors are a circular industrial connector, and their name comes from the outer diameter of the connector (12 mm). This type of connector is widely used in automation equipment and industrial control systems, especially in sensors, actuators, robotic systems, network equipment and other fields.
