Overview

The Mencom KTNLS-04IO12 is a 4-pole multipole rectangular connector kit designed for heavy-duty industrial applications requiring reliable, high-performance electrical connections. This kit includes a metal enclosure (Size 21.21) with a single latch, 4-pole screw terminal inserts, and a side-entry hood featuring a 1/2" NPT cable gland. The aluminum die-cast housing ensures durability and consistent clamping force, backed by a patented stainless steel locking system that maintains IP66/67 protection even after 500 mating cycles. The kit is rated for 600V and 10A, with wire compatibility from 26 to 14 AWG, making it suitable for demanding environments like automation, machinery, and control panels. The side-entry design simplifies cable routing, while the screw terminal inserts provide secure, tool-accessible connections. Compliance with NEMA 4/4X/12 standards further validates its suitability for harsh industrial conditions. Each kit includes the base housing, male insert, female insert, and hood, with cable glands sold separately. For IP66/67 protection, an optional washer kit (screw and washer) must be installed by replacing the supplied fixing screws. The KTNLS-04IO12 is part of Mencom’s globally recognized ILME series, a leader in industrial connectors, offering interchangeable inserts (screw or tool-less spring) and a range of entry thread options (PG, Metric, or NPT) to match specific application needs.
