DesignationPG 9, PG 13.5, PG 21, etc.M12, M16, M20, etc.
Thread PitchVariable, not standardizedPrecisely defined pitch
Outer DiameterIrregular (e.g., PG 13.5 ≈ 20.4 mm)Exact (e.g., M20 = 20.0 mm)
Typical UsageOlder industrial equipment, electrical installationsModern machines, international systems
AdvantageRobust, traditionally widespreadPrecise, globally standardized
DisadvantageVague dimensions, difficult compatibilityStrict standardization, less "tolerance"
Current TrendGradually being phased outDominant global standard
