Overview

Mencom’s FFDC-4FPX-4M-SS Foundation Fieldbus cordset delivers reliable, plug-and-play connectivity for industrial automation systems. This 4-pole, M12 female straight connector is engineered with a 4-meter PVC-jacketed shielded cable (18 AWG) to withstand harsh processing environments. The stainless steel coupling nut ensures secure mating, while the MIN Size I (7/8) form factor provides compact integration in tight spaces. Rated for 4A current at 250V AC/DC, this cordset is ideal for Foundation Fieldbus networks requiring stable signal transmission and mechanical durability. The orange PVC jacket enhances visibility and chemical resistance, making it suitable for oil & gas, chemical processing, and factory automation. Compatible with Mencom’s MIN Size I and M12 Fieldbus receptacles, this cordset simplifies device interconnection with pre-molded, field-ready construction. No additional shielding termination is required at the coupling nut, reducing installation complexity. The cable’s shielded design minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI) for consistent signal integrity in industrial environments. The 4-pole configuration supports Foundation Fieldbus H1 communication, ensuring compatibility with field instruments and host systems. The M12 female straight connector features a 4-pin arrangement with a 1mm pitch, optimized for secure data and power transmission. The 4-meter length provides flexibility for device placement while maintaining signal integrity over extended distances. The 18 AWG conductors deliver low resistance for reliable power delivery in 24V DC Foundation Fieldbus applications. The stainless steel coupling nut offers corrosion resistance and durability in demanding conditions. Trust Mencom’s DE-manufactured cordsets for consistent performance in 24V DC Foundation Fieldbus applications.
