Overview

The Mencom Corporation RJ45-M25 is a Panel Interface Connector (PIC) designed for safe external access to industrial control panels. This adapter features an M25 threaded housing with an RJ45 jack-to-jack pass-through connection, allowing users to interface with PLCs, computers, or programmable devices inside the panel without opening the door. The unit is UL508A, UL50, and UL50E listed, ensuring compliance with stringent industrial safety and electrical standards. The anodized aluminum housing provides robust protection with IP65 and IP69 ratings, making it suitable for washdown environments. Installation is straightforward via a 1" diameter panel cutout, with a supplied sealing cap for dust and water resistance. The connector is potted for durability, and the design includes a tethered cap for convenience. Tightening torque is 6.7 N-m, with a maximum panel thickness of 10 mm for standard shells. Optional stainless steel or low-profile nickel-plated brass shells are available for harsher conditions. Mencom offers over 3,000 PIC variations, with custom engineering services available.
