Overview

Mencom’s MS18M-5BFP-5M is a MIL-SPEC equivalent 5-pole cordset designed for robust industrial applications requiring reliable signal or power transmission. This 5-meter shielded cable features a female straight connector with a non-shielded coupling nut, rated for 8A current. The yellow PVC jacket ensures durability and easy identification in harsh environments. Threaded couplings provide secure mating and resistance to moisture, condensation, and vibration, meeting the demands of industrial and military-grade standards. Unlike traditional MIL-SPEC connectors, this cordset eliminates the need for crimp tools or soldering—its over-molded design and prewired receptacles enable simple 'plug-and-play' installation. Ideal for automation, robotics, and machinery where reliable connectivity is critical. Compatible with MIL-SPEC Size 18 shells, it supports flexible pin configurations for power or signal applications. Manufactured in Germany by Mencom Corporation, this cordset delivers consistent performance in power distribution, control systems, and sensor networks.
  • 5-pole female straight connector for signal or power transmission
