Overview

The Mencom Corporation MS16SM-5FP-4M is a MIL-SPEC equivalent Size 16S-5 cordset engineered for harsh industrial environments. This 5-pole, female straight connector features a 4-meter shielded cable with a yellow PVC jacket (STOOW rated), delivering reliable power and signal transmission in demanding applications. The connector is rated for 600V and 8A, with a temperature range of -40°C to 80°C, making it suitable for extreme conditions. The threaded coupling nut (nickel-plated aluminum) ensures IP67-rated sealing against moisture, condensation, and vibration, while the foil shield provides additional protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI). Unlike traditional MIL-SPEC connectors, this pre-wired cordset eliminates the need for crimping or soldering, offering a 'Plug and Play' solution that reduces installation time and complexity. The 16 AWG conductors (5 x 16 AWG) and 13.1mm outer diameter cable are industry-standard, compatible with North American color-coding (A: White, B: Red, C: Green/Yellow, D: Orange, E: Black). Standard cable lengths range from 1 to 15 meters, with custom lengths available upon request. Ideal for automation, robotics, and heavy machinery, this cordset is manufactured in Germany and distributed globally. The MS16SM-5FP-4M is a cost-effective alternative to traditional MIL-SPEC connectors, combining durability, performance, and ease of use.
