Overview

Mencom Corporation’s MQDS-24IOA40 is a 24-pole rectangular connector kit designed for heavy-duty industrial applications requiring reliable, tool-less wiring. This kit includes a base housing, mating hood (side entry with M40 metric thread), a female Squich spring terminal insert, and a male insert, all housed in a high-construction metal enclosure for durability. The Squich spring terminals eliminate the need for tools, allowing for quick and secure wire termination of 26-14 AWG conductors, while the double latch system ensures consistent clamping force and IP65 protection even after 500 mating cycles. The M40 side entry cable gland accommodates robust cable diameters, making it ideal for power distribution, control panels, and automation systems in harsh environments. Compatible with NEMA 4/4X/12 standards, this connector kit delivers a robust solution for applications demanding high ingress protection and long-term reliability. The thermoplastic housing (size 104.27) and metal enclosure provide mechanical strength and corrosion resistance, while the patented stainless steel locking system maintains IP65 integrity under repeated use. Whether for machine building, industrial automation, or outdoor installations, the MQDS-24IOA40 ensures fast, secure, and maintenance-free connections.
