Overview

The Mencom Corporation MDCM-8FP-5M-R is a shielded MDC (Micro-DC) cordset engineered for reliable industrial connectivity. This specific model features an 8-pole female right-angle connector, facilitating precise signal and power transmission in compact spaces. The cordset is equipped with a 5-meter (16.4 ft) cable constructed from durable yellow PVC, offering good mechanical protection and flexibility suitable for indoor and light outdoor environments. The cable jacket is shielded to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring signal integrity in noisy industrial settings. The connector housing is made from corrosion-resistant nickel-plated brass, providing a secure and long-lasting electrical connection. A single keyway design simplifies mating and ensures correct orientation during installation, preventing misconnections. Rated for a maximum current of 2 Amperes, this cordset is ideal for applications such as sensor networks, actuator connections, and data acquisition systems within industrial automation. Its M12 size designation indicates compatibility with standard M12 receptacles and panel mount solutions. The MDCM-8FP-5M-R is designed for plug-and-play integration, streamlining setup and maintenance. Mencom Corporation offers a range of cable jacket materials (including PUR and TPE) and connector configurations to meet diverse application requirements. This cordset is manufactured in Germany (DE).
