Overview

The Mencom MIN-2MR-3-18-SS is a 2-pole male straight receptacle from the MIN Size I series, designed for front mounting in industrial control panels and machinery. This model features a 3-foot, 18AWG cable with UL Style 1007/1569 insulation rated for 300V, ensuring reliable signal and power transmission in demanding environments. The receptacle is constructed with a stainless steel shell for superior corrosion resistance and durability, making it ideal for applications exposed to moisture, chemicals, or extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to 105°C (-40°F to +221°F). Key specifications include a .5-NPT conduit connection for secure cable entry, copper alloy contacts with gold plating for low-resistance conductivity, and an NBR O-ring for environmental sealing. The 7/8-16UN2A thread configuration ensures compatibility with standard MIN series components. This receptacle is part of Mencom’s MIN Size I series, which supports 2 to 6 contacts with 16/18/22AWG wire options. The 2-pole design is optimized for applications requiring up to 10A current handling, such as sensor interfaces, actuator connections, or low-power motor controls. The IP69 rating confirms resistance to high-pressure water jets and dust ingress, suitable for washdown environments in food processing, pharmaceuticals, or outdoor industrial settings. Mencom Corporation specializes in connectivity solutions for automation and process control, offering field-wired connectors and panel-mount receptacles with customizable lead lengths and shell materials. For applications needing extended cable lengths beyond the standard 12 inches, consult the factory for custom part numbers. The MIN-2MR-3-18-SS is a plug-and-play solution for engineers seeking a durable, high-integrity connection in harsh industrial conditions.
