Cable conductor color standards
On a M12 5-pin cable what standard uses the color scheme:
1- Brown
2 - White
3 - Black
4 - Blue
5 - Gray
Need to make a cross reference between the above and DIN-47100 colors so I don't get a call every other day because the colors don't match. I can't seem to find the name of the standard though.
It would help if I paid attention to pin numbers on the diagram.
1- Brown
2 - White
3 - Blue
4 - Black
5 - Gray
I'm calling it Euro-DC unless someone has a better answer.
I have always heard it was a European color code, however after looking at it just now the UK and EU color code is supposed to be brown for + and gray for - in a 2 wire ungrounded system:

So still brown and gray in both types of systems for EU and UK.
The US standard is supposed to be red for + and black for -, which is really unfortunate given that red is also a "switched AC control wire" color.
The only true brown and blue for + and - DC systems I can see is the Israel color code.
