FAQs
The DM3C2ME050M uses a female, straight-plug configuration with internal thread and a 5 m #22 AWG cable. To install, route the cable into the enclosure, mate with the corresponding LynxPOWER receptacle, align the keying, and tighten the internal-thread collar to seal against dust and moisture. This minimizes misalignment and ensures a secure, vibration-resistant connection suitable for DC control circuits.
Key specs include a 4 A amperage rating, 300 Vdc voltage rating, three-pole configuration, and #22 AWG conductors with a 5 m length. It is best used for DC control circuits in ordinary/non-hazardous locations, where IP68 protection and a compact zinc housing support reliable operation in washdown or dusty environments.
Yes, the cordset carries IP68 ingress protection, making it suitable for washdown and damp environments. It complies with NEC/CEC IEC standards and NEMA ratings (1, 3, 4, 6P, 13), with area classification of Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, helping you meet regulatory requirements across multiple regions.
Consider the 5 m length to minimize splices and maintain signal integrity, ensure correct polarity on DC circuits, and use the single-key feature to prevent misconnection. Plan for the 199.1 in implied length in some configurations, confirm enclosure space, and secure the internal-thread mating to preserve IP68 sealing during panel mounting.
The cordset reduces wiring time with a robust, pre-wired DC connection solution, minimizes misconnection risk through a single-key design, and supports compliant installations across NEC/CEC IEC standards. Its IP68 rating and zinc housing translate to lower maintenance costs and longer service life, improving uptime in control cabinets and panel wiring over the product lifecycle.
