Overview

Mencom MDC-3FPX-5M-R is a 3-pole M12 female right-angle cordset (SKU: MDC-3FPX-5M-R) designed for industrial signal, power, and data applications. This cordset features a nickel-plated brass M12 coupling nut with single keyway for secure, vibration-resistant connections. The 5-meter PVC-jacketed cable is 18AWG with a 4A current rating, making it suitable for low-power control, sensing, and data transmission in automation, robotics, and machinery. The yellow PVC jacket provides visual identification and basic chemical resistance. MDC connectors use a standardized M12 interface with metric threading, ensuring compatibility with field-wired connectors, panel mount receptacles, and accessories from Mencom and other manufacturers. The right-angle female end simplifies cable routing in tight spaces, reducing strain on connections. Ideal for control panels, machine I/O, and sensor networks where space and reliability are critical.
