Overview

The Mencom Corporation DHEP-DB9-R-32 Panel Interface Connector (PIC) provides a secure and convenient external access point to control panel systems, enhancing safety and operational efficiency on the shop floor. This specific configuration features a Continental European power outlet, a 9-pin D-sub connector for data communication, and a 3-amp reset function, all housed within a robust Size 32 enclosure. Designed to comply with NFPA 70E safety standards, the DHEP-DB9-R-32 eliminates the need to open control panel doors for routine interfacing, significantly reducing the risk of electrical shock and operational downtime. The 9-pin D-sub port is specifically wired to a 3-pin pluggable terminal block, making it compatible with Allen-Bradley's Data Highway System, often referred to as "Blue Hose" connections. This ensures reliable data transfer for industrial automation and control applications. The integrated Continental European power outlet offers a standardized power source for external devices or maintenance tools directly at the panel's exterior. The 3-amp reset functionality provides overcurrent protection for connected circuits, allowing for quick and safe recovery from minor electrical faults. The Size 32 housing offers ample space for these integrated components while maintaining a compact footprint suitable for various panel installations. Mencom Corporation is renowned for its extensive range of over 2000 standard PIC configurations. Should this specific model not meet your exact requirements, Mencom's design engineers are available to collaborate on custom solutions. Manufactured in the USA, the DHEP-DB9-R-32 exemplifies Mencom's commitment to quality and application-specific design for industrial environments.
