Overview

The Mencom Corporation MIN-6FR2-6-18-BM is a compact, high-reliability 6-pole female straight receptacle designed for industrial plug-and-play connectivity. Part of the MIN Size II series, this back-mount unit features a 1-inch clear anodized aluminum housing that resists corrosion and environmental stress, making it ideal for harsh operating conditions. The pre-attached 6-foot cable uses 18 AWG wire with a 5.5 Amp current rating at 300V, ensuring safe power and signal transmission in demanding applications. This receptacle is engineered for quick installation and maintenance, with a back-mount design that simplifies panel or enclosure integration. The North American color-coded wiring (1. Orange, 2. Blue, 3. Black, 4. White, 5. Red, 6. Green/Yellow) ensures correct polarity and reduces wiring errors during assembly. The unit’s IP69 rating confirms resistance to high-pressure water jets and dust ingress, suitable for washdown environments in food processing, pharmaceuticals, or outdoor machinery. Compatible with Mencom’s MIN Size II male connectors and cordsets, the MIN-6FR2-6-18-BM supports 6, 7, or 8-pole configurations depending on the series variant. The nickel-plated brass jam nut provides secure locking, while the NBR O-ring ensures environmental sealing. Operating temperature range spans -40°C to +105°C (-40°F to +221°F), accommodating extreme climates. Standard coupling nuts are nickel-plated brass; stainless steel options are available with a -SS suffix for enhanced corrosion resistance. Ideal for automation, robotics, and control panels, this receptacle streamlines system assembly by eliminating field wiring and reducing downtime. Its 1-inch size and modular design allow integration into tight spaces without sacrificing performance. Mencom’s MIN Size II series is trusted in industrial automation, material handling, and renewable energy applications where reliable, high-density connectivity is critical.
