Overview

Mencom MQLS-16IV25 is a 16-pole multipole rectangular connector kit featuring tool-less spring (Squich) terminals for rapid, secure wire termination without tools. This kit includes a metal enclosure (Size 77.27), a top-entry M25 hood, male and female inserts, and a base housing, delivering IP66-rated protection and reliable performance in harsh industrial environments. The Squich spring terminals accept wire sizes from 26 to 14 AWG, enabling quick and tool-free installation—ideal for applications requiring frequent reconfiguration or maintenance. The metal housing ensures durability and consistent clamping force, even after 500 mating cycles, thanks to Mencom’s patented stainless steel locking system. Designed for 600V and 16A operation, the MQLS-16IV25 supports top-entry configurations with M25 metric threading, providing compatibility with standard cable glands and accessories. Each kit is engineered for heavy-duty industrial use, meeting NEMA 4/4X/12 standards and offering robust protection against dust, water, and mechanical stress. The single-latch design simplifies mating and unmating, while the metal construction ensures long-term reliability in demanding applications such as automation, control panels, and machinery wiring. Available with optional side-entry hoods (M32, M40) and surface-mount bases (replace ‘I’ with ‘P’ in part number), the MQLS-16IV25 adapts to diverse installation requirements. Trusted by global industrial leaders, Mencom’s ILME series sets the benchmark for multipole connectors, combining precision engineering with field-proven performance.
