Overview

The Mencom Corporation MEC-5FR-4 is a 5-pole female straight receptacle designed for reliable industrial connectivity in harsh environments. This front-mount receptacle features a nickel-plated brass housing, providing corrosion resistance and long-term durability against moisture, dust, and contaminants. The unit includes a .25-18 NPT threaded interface for secure panel mounting with a tight seal. It comes pre-assembled with a 1-foot integrated cable constructed from 22 AWG wire, supporting a maximum current rating of 4A and a voltage rating of 300V, making it suitable for low-power signal or control circuits. The MEC-5FR-4 is part of Mencom's MEC series, maintaining compatibility with standard MEC plugs through a single reverse keyway to prevent mismating and ensure proper orientation during installation. The connector is secured with an M12 coupling nut, offering additional stability and resistance to vibration in dynamic applications. Its compact form factor is optimized for installations where space is limited, such as automation, instrumentation, and control systems. This versatility ensures reliable performance across a wide range of industrial applications, from factory automation to process control. The MEC-5FR-4 operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C (-40°F to +221°F), making it suitable for extreme conditions. The contacts are copper alloy with gold plating, and the insulator is polyamide, ensuring reliable electrical performance and mechanical strength.
