Please do not be put off by the title and run away as this is not a maths quiz! Actually if it were a maths quiz, I believe the simple answer would be no, 17 won’t go into (M) 12. But what’s the (M) for I hear you ask? If you didn’t, please pretend you did otherwise this simply won’t work.
As I said at the outset, this isn’t to do with maths, although when you discover what I am going to tell you it will make you question how this is possible. Imagine, if you will, the humble M12 connector which is widely recognisable in the industry as the connector of choice for multiple poles in a small circular housing.
