Overview

Mencom MS18M-5CFP-2M is a MIL-SPEC equivalent 5-pin female cordset designed for industrial applications requiring reliable power or signal transmission. This Size 18 connector features a threaded coupling nut for secure mating and environmental sealing against moisture, condensation, and vibration. The shielded PVC cable (2 meters) supports up to 8A current, making it suitable for robust industrial environments. Unlike traditional MIL-SPEC connectors, this cordset is pre-overmolded, eliminating the need for crimp tools or soldering—installation is as simple as plug-and-play. The yellow PVC jacket provides visual identification, while the unshielded coupling nut simplifies assembly. Compatible with a variety of pin configurations, this connector is ideal for power distribution, control systems, and signal applications where durability and ease of installation are critical. Mencom’s MIL-SPEC equivalent design ensures performance parity with traditional military-grade connectors without the complexity.
  • MIL-SPEC Size 18-5C equivalent connector with 5 poles
  • 2-meter shielded PVC cable, rated for 8A current
  • Female straight connector with threaded coupling nut for secure mating
  • Yellow PVC jacket for easy identification in industrial settings
  • Pre-overmolded design eliminates need for crimp tools or soldering
