How to read this profile

Five-position L-coding is documented; V44 does not publish a face-view pin assignment for this profile.

Recorded variant and source limits

The cited 12 A value applies with 1.5 mm² conductors and the 16 A value with 2.5 mm² conductors for the cited product; neither is a universal M12 L-coded rating.
No circuit assignment, safe-load calculation, installation approval or fabrication geometry is inferred.
