Overview

Mencom MDCM-5FP-2M is a 5-pole MDC (Micro-DC) cordset designed for industrial automation and control systems. This shielded cable assembly features a female straight connector with a 2-meter PVC-jacketed cable rated for 4A current, ensuring reliable signal integrity in demanding environments. The nickel-plated brass housing with M12 coupling nut provides secure mating and corrosion resistance, while the single keyway prevents misalignment during installation. The PVC jacket offers flexibility and resistance to oils, chemicals, and abrasion, making it suitable for factory automation, robotics, and process control applications. Unlike standard M12 connectors, MDC series connectors use a distinct coupling mechanism and keying system for compatibility with Mencom’s field-wired connectors, panel mount receptacles, and molded cable assemblies. Available in multiple jacket materials (PVC, PUR, TPE) and lengths, this cordset can be customized for specific operational needs. The 5-pole configuration supports signal and power transmission in compact spaces, with a maximum current rating of 4A per contact. Ideal for connecting sensors, actuators, and I/O modules in industrial networks, the MDCM-5FP-2M delivers plug-and-play integration with Mencom’s MDC ecosystem, reducing installation time and minimizing wiring errors. Compliance with industrial standards ensures long-term reliability in harsh conditions.
