Overview

The Mencom MDCM-8FP-5M is an 8-pole Micro-DC (M12) cordset designed for reliable industrial connectivity in control and sensor applications. This shielded cable assembly features a 5-meter yellow PVC jacket (AWM-rated) with foil shielding extending to the coupling nut, ensuring robust protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) in harsh environments. The female straight connector mates with standard M12 x 1 male counterparts, providing secure, vibration-resistant connections with a nickel-plated brass coupling nut for corrosion resistance. Key specifications include a 2-amp current rating at 60V, operating temperature range from -40°C to +105°C, and a 6mm outer diameter. The 8-conductor configuration (24 AWG) supports multi-signal transmission with color-coded wires: 1. White, 2. Brown, 3. Green, 4. Yellow, 5. Gray, 6. Pink, 7. Blue, 8. Red. Mencom’s MDC series cordsets are engineered for plug-and-play integration into industrial networks, offering compatibility with panel mount receptacles, field-wired connectors, and extension cables. The PVC jacket provides chemical resistance, while the foil shield ensures signal integrity in noisy environments. Standard lengths range from 1 to 15 meters, with custom options available upon request. For applications requiring enhanced durability, Mencom offers stainless steel coupling nuts (add suffix -SS) or alternative jacket materials like PUR (oil/cut-resistant) or TPE (weld-slag resistant). This cordset is a cost-effective solution for machine builders, system integrators, and maintenance teams seeking dependable, high-quality connectivity without proprietary constraints.
