Overview

The Mencom MDC-3Y-2M is a 3-conductor Y-cordset from the Micro-DC (M12) Series, designed for reliable industrial signal and power distribution. This cordset features a 3-pole M12x1 male connector on one end and two blunt-cut cable ends, enabling flexible field wiring or integration into pre-assembled systems. The yellow PVC jacket provides basic mechanical protection and chemical resistance for general industrial environments. Key specifications include a 300V voltage rating, 4A current rating, and a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The cable is constructed with 3 x 22 AWG conductors per AWM standards, with a 5mm outer diameter. The M12 male connector uses a standard nickel-plated brass coupling nut for secure mating, and the internal wiring follows industry-standard color coding (Brown, Blue, Black). This Y-cordset is ideal for splitting signals or power from a single source to two separate actuators or sensors in automation, robotics, and process control applications. Standard lengths range from 1m to 15m, with the MDC-3Y-2M offering a 2-meter configuration. For stainless steel coupling nuts, add the “-SS” suffix to the part number.
