Overview

Mencom MAC-3FR-M16-18 is a 3-pole female straight receptacle designed for industrial automation and sensor applications. This front-mount M16 connector features a 1-foot 18AWG cable with 4A current rating, ensuring reliable signal and power transmission in compact spaces. Unlike MDC (M12) connectors, MAC connectors use a 1/2-20UN2 coupling nut and dual keyway to prevent wiring errors, enhancing system integrity. The aluminum clear anodized housing provides corrosion resistance and durability in harsh environments. Available in molded cable, field-wired, or panel-mount configurations, these plug-and-play connectors support PVC, PUR, or TPE jackets for flexibility across applications. Ideal for factory automation, robotics, and process control where precise termination and error-proof connections are critical. Compatible with 24V DC systems common in industrial control panels.
