Overview

The Mencom MDCM-12MFP-5M-B is a 12-pole Micro-DC (M12) cordset engineered for reliable industrial signal and power transmission in automation, control, and sensor networks. This double-ended cordset features a male straight to female straight M12 x 1 configuration with a 5-meter black PVC jacketed cable rated for 2A at 30V. Designed for plug-and-play connectivity, the MDCM-12MFP-5M-B integrates seamlessly into Mencom’s MDC (Micro-DC) Series, a comprehensive line of M12 connectors and cable assemblies. The 12-pole design supports multi-signal applications including I/O, fieldbus, and sensor wiring, with color-coded conductors for easy identification. The cable construction includes 12 x 24 AWG conductors with foil shielding to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI), making it ideal for use in proximity to variable frequency drives, motors, and other noise-generating equipment. The PVC jacket provides durability and flexibility across a wide temperature range from -40°C to +105°C, while the 5.2mm outer diameter ensures compatibility with standard M12 panel cutouts and conduit systems. Mencom offers this cordset in multiple cable lengths (1m to 15m) and jacket materials (PVC, PUR, TPE, Hi-Flex) to match application-specific requirements. For stainless steel coupling nuts or alternative cable configurations, consult the factory for custom part numbers (e.g., add "-SS" suffix for stainless steel). Applications include factory automation, robotics, CNC machinery, and process control systems where reliable, high-density connectivity is critical. The MDCM-12MFP-5M-B eliminates wiring errors with standardized pinouts and robust construction, reducing downtime and maintenance costs in industrial networks.
