Are Staubli MC4 connectors from the USA and China the same? I found some being shipped from China in a sealed bag, but the made in says "MC China"

Where are the originals made?
If Staubli makes them in China to start with, they could be the same. They could also be counterfeit knockoffs.

If the body of the connector says stabuli, it should be legit.

Staubli are indeed German and sadly @Supervstech china do indeed make exact copies @jdurban if you can't be sure where the connectors are being shipped from I can recommend molex mc4 atleast from what I've seen the Chinese aren't making copies of those yet and they are still made to a high standard.
