Overview

The Mencom Corporation MDCM-3FP-4M-SS is a shielded MDC cordset designed for reliable industrial connectivity. MDC connectors, often referred to as Micro-DC, utilize an M12 coupling nut and a single keyway for straightforward and secure connections. This specific model features a 3-pole configuration with a female straight connector end and a 4-meter cable length. The cable jacket is constructed from durable yellow PVC, suitable for various industrial environments. Rated for 4A, this cordset is built to withstand demanding applications where signal integrity is crucial. The shielding is applied to the cable itself, providing enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring stable data transmission. The coupling nut is not shielded, allowing for easy and quick mating and unmating. Mencom Corporation offers a comprehensive range of MDC connectors, including molded cable assemblies like this one, as well as field-wired connectors, panel mount receptacles, and accessories. Users can select from various cable jacket materials such as PVC, PUR, and TPE, along with Hi-Flex cable options and shielded variants to meet specific application needs. Receptacles are available in diverse mounting styles and thread types, including Metric, PG, and NPT, offering broad compatibility across different control systems and
