Eaton MF4B1 LynxPOWER Mini-Line field attachable - IP68
Part Number: MF4B1
Quick Summary
Eaton MF4B1 LynxPOWER Mini-Line field attachable connectors enable fast, reliable wiring terminations in rugged control cabinets. Engineers often struggle with limited space, vibration, and moisture that can degrade field connections over time. This device delivers IP68 protection and is designed to meet NEC/CEC/IEC standards with NEMA ratings 1, 13, 3, 4, and 6P, providing assurance across a range of installations. The field-attachable format supports common #16 AWG cables in a 0.20–0.48 inch range, reducing assembly complexity and spare-part requirements. For maintenance and uptime, lower wiring costs and consistent contact reliability translate to shorter downtime and improved total cost of ownership, while keeping compatibility with other LynxPOWER passive connectors.

FAQs
For MF4B1 field terminations, trim conductors to the recommended length, strip insulation to expose the conductor and insert into the four-pole contact cavity. Align the male inline connector with the external thread, then tighten to a secure, vibration-resistant fit. Verify proper seating and perform a continuity check. Use the nickel-plated brass housing to resist corrosion in washdown or humid environments. This approach minimizes rework and ensures a consistent, rugged connection even in dynamic automation environments.
MF4B1 is a four-pole, male in-line, field attachable connector rated for 10 A. It features an external thread and straight mating configuration, designed for reliable, compact power and signal terminations in industrial panels. The design supports #16 AWG conductors within a 0.20–0.48 in cable range, enabling flexible wiring while maintaining a tight, vibration-resistant connection.
MF4B1 is suited for ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations with IP68 protection, making it appropriate for washdown zones, humid industrial spaces, and outdoor enclosures. Its nickel-plated brass body resists corrosion, and the connector meets NEC/CEC/IEC standards with compatible NEMA ratings, ensuring dependable operation in typical automation cells and panel installations.
MF4B1 complies with NEC/CEC/IEC standards and carries NEMA ratings 1, 13, 3, 4, and 6P. It achieves IP68 ingress protection, and its ordinary location classification supports reliable performance in standard industrial environments. These certifications help streamline compliance documentation and support broader deployability across automation projects.
The field attachable design enables on-site terminations without specialized tooling, cutting installation time and reducing downtime. Common #16 AWG cables and a 0.20–0.48 in range simplify parts management, while corrosion-resistant nickel-plated brass extends service life in washdown environments. Together, these factors lower maintenance costs and improve uptime for automation systems.
