Overview

The Mencom DM6-M25 is a 6-pole port adapter designed for panel mounting in M25 housings. This Panel Interface Connector (PIC) mounts externally to control panels, enabling convenient pass-through connections without opening the panel door. By eliminating frequent door openings, it enhances shop floor safety and helps comply with NFPA 70E electrical safety standards. The M25 housing ensures compatibility with standard industrial enclosures, while the 6-pole configuration supports multiple signal or power connections. The DM6-M25 features a 6 PIN Female MINI-DIN to 6 PIN Female MINI-DIN connection. Constructed with an anodized aluminum housing, it offers UL Type 4, 12, and IP69 ratings, making it suitable for washdown applications. The standard shell supports a maximum panel thickness of 10 mm with a tightening torque of 6.7 N-m. This port adapter is ideal for integrating external access ports into existing or new control systems, connecting PLCs, computers, and programmable devices. It is manufactured by Mencom Corporation and is UL508A, UL50, and UL50E compliant, confirming its suitability for industrial control panel applications, including those requiring arc-resistant or hazardous location compliance. The unit requires a 1” diameter panel cutout.
