Overview

The Mencom TQLS-16IV34 is a 16-pole rectangular connector kit designed for heavy-duty industrial applications requiring reliable, high-performance connectivity. This kit includes a metal enclosure (Size 77.27), a mating hood with top 3/4" NPT cable entry, a female insert, and a male insert with tool-less spring (Squich) terminals. The Squich spring terminals accept wire gauges from 26 AWG to 14 AWG, eliminating the need for tools during installation or maintenance—saving time and reducing labor costs. The metal housing ensures robust durability and IP66 protection, even in harsh environments with exposure to dust, moisture, and mechanical stress. The patented stainless steel locking system guarantees consistent clamping force and maintains IP65/IP66 protection for up to 500 mating cycles, ensuring long-term reliability. This connector kit is ideal for applications in automation, control panels, machinery, and industrial automation systems where secure, tool-free wiring and high ingress protection are critical. Compatible with NEMA 4/4X/12 standards, the TQLS-16IV34 supports up to 600V and 16A, making it suitable for power and signal connections in demanding industrial settings. The top NPT cable entry allows for flexible cable routing and secure gland installation, while the single latch design simplifies mating and unmating operations.
