Armored Cordsets
One of the biggest challenges every manufacturer struggles with is how to prevent downtime or outage caused by connection failure.
Abusive manufacturing environments with extreme conditions are where these issues are most likely to take place.
In most cases downtime is caused by one of the following conditions:
– Physical failure by repetitive impacts and abrasion
– Damage by high-pressure washdown and cleaning chemical
– Damage by extreme temperature
– Weld Slag
Mencom’s newest line of armored, quick disconnect cables provide a rugged solution for harsh environments. They are available in 7/8″, 1/2″, M12, and M8 Connectors.
MIN Cables & Receptacles (MIN, MINH & PMIN)
The MIN-Series is so named because they are generally referred to in the industry as Brad Mini-Change connectors, or Mini connectors.
MIN Size I encompasses the 2, 3, 4, 5, & the smaller 6 pole version (there are two sizes of the 6 pole connector. One is a size I and one is a size II). All of the size I variety are based on a 1″ hex for the receptacle and a 7/8″ thread for the plug.
MIN Size II connectors include the larger 6 pole, and the 7 & 8 pole connectors. The size II is based on a 1.125″ hex and a 1″ thread for the plug.
MIN Size III connectors include the 9, 10, 12, & 19 pole connectors. The size III is based on a 1.25″ hex and a 1.125″ thread for the plug.
MIN Power series connectors include 3, 4, & 7 pole connectors.
MINH 3 & 4 pole connectors are based on a 7/8” mating thread size. They use 14AWG wire and are rated for 600V, 18A on the 3 pole and 15A on the 4 pole. The 7 pole connectors are based on a 1” mating thread size. The 7 pole connector uses a combination of two 14AWG, and five 18AWG conductors and is rated for 300V, 5A.
PMIN 3 & 4 pole connectors are based on a 1 3/8” mating thread size. They are available in 10AWG, 12AWG, and 14AWG conductors, rated 600V, and up to 40A.
Industrial Communication Connectors (Ethernet, USB, and more)
Mencom’s series of Industrial Network Connectors are designed to ensure uninterrupted and reliable connectivity and achieve optimal performance without system noise interference.
With connections options across a wide range of physical layer connection types including Ethernet, USB, Foundation Fieldbus, DeviceNet, and more, Mencom has the solutions for modern as well as legacy communication applications.
Our full line of rugged connectors and accessories will meet the connectivity needs of complex industrial networks, even in harsh automation environments.
Panel Interface Connectors
The ability to interface with the contents of the cabinet without opening the door prevents a lot of potential safety hazards associated with having an open electrical panel, such as Arc Flash.
Mencom currently has well over 3,000 designs of Panel Interface Connectors (also known in the market as programming ports, program ports, programming interfaces, or interface ports) in production. Our engineering team is designing new Panel Interface Connectors every month to meet the various needs of your business.
ILME Multipole Rectangular Connectors
Mencom Corporation is now offering ILME Rectangular Connectors. Known for their high-quality construction and reliable connections, these rugged industrial connectors are typically fully compatible with other manufacturers’ solutions such as Harting, Phoenix Contact, TE Connectivity, and others.
ILME’s rectangular connector assemblies consist of a base, a mating hood and male and female inserts. ILME rectangular connectors are available from Mencom as either individual components or fully-kitted solutions.
Applications for these connectors are found in process automation, automotive, robotics, factory automation, and machine tools just to name a few. This solution will help drastically reduce labor time and costs associated with product installation.
Junction Blocks (M12, M8, and Ethernet)
The basic designs of the MIN series, Micro Series, and NAN series of junction blocks from Mencom allow for fast and accurate installation while reducing overall labor.
The MIN series is available in 4, 6, and 8 port configurations with MIN size I ports. The Micro Series, available for both MDC and MAC connections as well as for DeviceNet applications, includes sizes from 2~12 ports with and without LED indication. The NAN series is available with 4, 6 or 8 M8 ports with and without LED indication.
All Mencom Junction Blocks are IP67 rated for harsh environment and available with a variety of trunk connections.
