Overview

The Mencom MDCDN-5FP-DP1 is a 5-pole DeviceNet Drop dummy plug featuring an integrated 121Ω terminator resistor, essential for proper CAN bus network termination in industrial automation. This M12 female straight connector is built for harsh environments, boasting an IP69 rating. Its construction includes a nickel-plated brass coupling nut and gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable connectivity. The housing is made of oil-resistant black PVC, ensuring durability. The integrated terminator connects pin 4 (CAN_H) to pin 5 (CAN_L), effectively preventing signal reflections in DeviceNet networks. Operating within a wide temperature range of -40°C to +105°C (-40°F to +221°F), this plug is suitable for demanding applications. The 7/8"-16UN threaded interface ensures compatibility with standard DeviceNet cabling and accessories. Typical uses include PLC I/O drops, sensor networks, and distributed control systems where stable bus termination is critical for communication integrity. This connector adheres to DeviceNet specifications for 5-conductor thin cable systems, supporting 22/24 AWG conductors with ratings of 300V and 4A. For applications requiring stainless steel, a "-SS" suffix can be added to the part number for a stainless steel coupling nut version. Manufactured by Mencom Corporation in the USA.
