Overview

Mencom Corporation's FFIN-4FP-FWX-SS is a field-wireable Foundation Fieldbus connector engineered for industrial automation networks. This 4-pole, 7/8"-16UN2 female straight connector features a stainless steel coupling nut and nickel-plated brass lock nut, delivering corrosion resistance in harsh processing environments. The connector supports a 300V, 10A rating with 18 AWG wire compatibility, ensuring reliable power and signal transmission for Foundation Fieldbus devices. The oil-resistant black PVC insulator and NBR O-ring provide environmental sealing up to IP67, while gold-plated copper alloy contacts maintain low-resistance connections across the -40°C to 105°C operating range. Designed for front-mount installation with 1/2"-14 NPT threads, this connector integrates seamlessly with Mencom's Foundation Fieldbus series receptacles (FFIN-4MR-**-SS / FFIN-4FR-**-SS). The 1" hex body and included hardware simplify field installation, reducing downtime in critical automation systems. Ideal for process control, oil & gas, and manufacturing applications requiring robust, field-terminable connectivity.
