Quick Summary

The ML5C4WC060FY LynxPOWER Mini-Line cordset delivers reliable 8 A power connections for factory automation equipment. Installers often face moisture, dust, and cable wear that drive downtime in harsh environments. This solution mitigates those issues with a rugged IP68-rated nylon housing, five-pole passive connectors, and a secure female straight-plug configuration. It meets NEC/CEC IEC standards and supports Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, enhancing compliance across plant networks. By using a 6 ft STOOW cable on #16 AWG conductors, with internal threading and a pigtail, it delivers consistent harness performance and easier field servicing. The result is reduced maintenance costs, improved uptime, and smoother integration into existing LynxPOWER ecosystems, driving reliable connectivity from control panels to field devices.

Feature: 6 ft STOOW cable with #16 AWG conductors delivers reliable power delivery while maintaining compact harness footprints. Business Impact: The 8 A amperage rating provides ample headroom for typical control circuits and lighting loads without oversizing cables, reducing harness complexity and material costs. Application: Ideal for panel-to-device connections on conveyors, pick-and-place machines, and robotic subsystems in manufacturing environments. Feature: Five-pole, Style I configuration with a passive connector simplifies multi-conductor interconnects. Business Impact: Fewer interconnect points reduce potential failure modes and improve vibration resistance, translating to higher line reliability and lower field maintenance. Application: Supports motor control, sensing, and control signaling in automation equipment where robust polarity and polarization are essential. Feature: Female, straight plug with internal thread and pigtail enables secure, tool-free mounting and field serviceability. Business Impact: Internal threading helps withstand frequent mating cycles and rough handling, while the pigtail provides a ready-to-connect lead for faster installation. Application: Common in control panels, junction boxes, and equipment enclosures where quick, durable terminations are needed. Feature: IP68 ingress protection with a Nylon housing resists dust, water, and washdowns. Business Impact: Protects critical connections in harsh environments, reducing downtime from moisture ingress and corrosion and extending product life. Application: Washdown areas, wet production lines, and outdoor equipment where rugged sealing is required. Feature: NEC/CEC IEC standards compliance and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Area classification ensure broad regulatory alignment. Business Impact: Simplifies procurement, enables compliant installation in diverse facilities, and minimizes rework due to certification gaps. Application: General industry facilities, commercial plants, and machine OEM environments seeking reliable, standards-aligned cordsets. Feature: Compatibility with the LynxPOWER ecosystem and a clearly defined cable length (6 ft) enhances integration with existing harnesses. Business Impact: Improves inventory planning and spare-part availability, reducing downtime during changes or repairs. Application: Connects LynxPOWER powered devices, receptacles, and multi-port boxes in complex automation networks.

FAQs

ML5C4WC060FY is well-suited for general automation wiring on factory floors. Its five-pole passive connector supports power and simple control signaling between panels, drives, and field devices. The 6 ft STOOW cord and #16 AWG conductors provide flexible harnessing for conveyors, robots, and machinery in ordinary locations, helping standardize cabling across equipment families.
Key specifications include an 8 A amperage rating, #16 AWG STOOW conductors, a 6 ft cable length, five poles, a nylon housing, and IP68 ingress protection. The connector is female with a straight plug and internal thread, and it is designed for use in ordinary/non-hazardous locations, ensuring reliable power and signal transfer in routine industrial settings.
Yes. The cordset is IP68-rated for dust and water ingress protection and complies with NEC/CEC IEC standards for electrical safety and performance. It is suitable for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, aligning with typical industrial facilities and helping simplify regulatory compliance during procurement and installation.
The five-pole design consolidates power and signal wiring into a single mating interface, reducing interconnects and potential failure points. It improves reliability in vibration-prone environments and simplifies field wiring during machine builds or panel wiring, making integration faster and less error-prone in robotic systems and automation hardware.
Consider mating with compatible LynxPOWER receptacles and ensure proper alignment to maintain IP68 sealing. The product uses a female straight plug with internal threading and a pigtail, which supports secure mounting and quick terminations. Verify enclosure integrity after installation and follow standard washdown and maintenance practices to preserve long-term performance.
