Overview

The Mencom MDCIN-3MFP-AD1 is a 3-pole adapter designed to bridge M12 male connectors with 7/8"-16UN2 female connectors in industrial environments. This adapter features an M12x1 male thread on one end and a 7/8-16 UN2B female thread on the other, enabling direct integration between disparate cabling systems. The housing is constructed from oil-resistant yellow PVC, providing durability against harsh industrial chemicals and contaminants. Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure low-resistance electrical connections, while nickel-plated brass coupling nuts deliver secure mating and long-term reliability. Rated for 300V and 4A, it supports power and signal transmission in demanding applications. The MDC (M12) insert is made of Polyamide, and the MIN (7/8") insert is oil-resistant PVC. Physical dimensions include a 2.6" [66mm] length, 0.6" [15mm] diameter, and 1.0" [25mm] thread diameter. This adapter is ideal for panel-mount and equipment-side connections where space is constrained and reliability is critical. Compatible with 3, 4, and 5-conductor MIN Series Size I accessories, it offers a compact and versatile solution for industrial connectivity needs.
