FAQs
Installation begins with verifying the mating orientation of the female, straight-plug connector and ensuring the internal thread is clean. Route the 2 m cable to the controller or device, secure the pigtail where required, and tighten the internal-thread coupling to form a sealed, IP68-rated connection. Test for continuity and insulation resistance after installation.
Yes. The cordset is designed for DC use with a 300 Vdc rating and a 4 A amperage rating, wired as a three-pole passive connector with #22 AWG conductors. It is compatible with LynxPOWER Micro-Mini components and is intended for reliable DC power delivery in standard industrial environments.
The DM3C2ME020M features NEC/CEC IEC standards compliance and broad NEMA ratings of 1, 3, 4, 6P, and 13. It also carries IP68 ingress protection and is intended for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, making it suitable for non-hazardous industrial applications requiring rugged, compliant connectivity.
The cordset uses a passive three-pole design with a female, straight plug, internal thread, and pigtail, engineered to mate with other LynxPOWER Micro-Mini receptacles and accessories. The single-key design helps prevent misalignment, while the internal thread provides a secure, weather-resistant connection suitable for modular automation systems.
By delivering a robust 4 A, 300 Vdc DC power path in a compact, IP68-rated package, the cordset reduces downtime from failed connections and minimizes maintenance intervals. Its zinc housing and sealed design improve longevity in washdown environments, enabling more reliable automated operation and lower total cost of ownership.
