Help me to identify the connector
I need to identify the manufacturer and the connector type.
It is a 90° type, female, 5 pins, cable connection, inside with screws.
The closest that I could come is Harting M12-Screw-5P-ACOD-F-ANG, but the sizes do not really match and the part where the cable is tighten is different.
Above I tried some approx. dimensions over the drawing done for Harting below:
M12-Screw-5P-ACOD-F-ANG | HARTING Technology Group
The counterpart of my connector is below:

After a long search, I think I found the connector, based only on image view. My connector looks exactly as the one from bottom-left corner, but I do not know the dimensions.
It seems a chinese company and I cannot reach their website,
I will try the email.

An important question here is if Harting or Molex types are a replacemnt and compatible , matching the male counterpart from the electrical panel.
M12 is standardised as IEC 61076-2-101, see: https://webstore.iec.ch/p-preview/info_iec61076-2-101%7Bed1.0%7Den.pdf
Therefore, for example, if you buy an RJ45 cable without checking anything at all, it should work (and 99.99% of the time, it does!)
M12 is standardised, and without checking any further, all connectors you buy which clearly states M12 (and it's not a scam or quality control issue), it should work.

Can you gurantee that M12 Harting or M12 Molex found by me above will match that chinese M12 Hengzahn in terms of pins displacemnt and thickness, length, beside the 12mm standard thread?
As I said, bar the bad product production or scam, all M12 products should have 100% interoperatebility
Of course, I can't guarantee it in your case, what are the coincidences people are trying this exact combination? What are the coincidences that one strange brand network cable works with one other strange brand network switch. It's basically just trusting everyone involved kept to the standards previously established industry wide.
As I said, if you buy an RJ45 network cable, you usually don't ask this question either. For M12, it shouldn't be necessary either. But I can never guarantee it, no one can, other than the company who made it. So you can send out an email, if they 100% adhere to the IEC 61076-2-101 standard.

I already contacted the company. I got a datasheet, price, delivery time...
I willl go back to the standrds compatibility queestions.
Thanks.

Just to let you know that I have got an answer from the chinese manufacturer.
They say: fast delivery time 3-5 days, 10pcs. MOQ , but they have no certifications and no document to show comptibility with the M12 connectors standard. They have only CE nad RoSH.
So, the only solution is to buy and try. And that applies also for Harting or Molex above, becasue the counterpart side is probably chinese too.

This is the next possible option:
Female angled connector, metal locking system, screw clamp connection, solder termination on 12 pol - Franz Binder GmbH & Co. Elektrische Bauelemente KG (binder-connector.com)
I just write it here to don't forget.

I think it is a Molex Micro-Change (M12) Single Keyway, 90° Angle Female, 5 Poles.
Something like:
Molex Connector Part Number - 120071-0044
or
Molex Connector Part Number - 120071-0070
I need to measure it more exactly.
