Eaton Specification Sheet - ML5C4WC300FY
IP68 ingress protection ensures dust and water ingress resistance in washdowns and outdoor environments, translating to reduced maintenance intervals and fewer unplanned shutdowns. The five-pole, passive LynxPOWER connector with a female straight plug, internal thread, and pigtail streamlines wiring harness assembly and panel mounting, speeding up commissioning and spare-part planning. With an 8 A rating on STOOW #16 AWG conductors, this cordset supports common automation signals and low-power control circuits while maintaining compact field routing. Nylon housing delivers rugged durability against impact, moisture, and chemical exposure, extending service life in demanding facilities. Compliance to NEC/CEC IEC and recognized NEMA ratings provide regulatory assurance, aiding procurement and quality audits. A 30 ft cable length adds routing flexibility for machine tools, conveyors, and control panels without excessive splices or extensions.

FAQs
The ML5C4WC300FY is designed to interconnect power and control circuits inside electrical panels, on machines, and along conveyors. It is a five-pole passive connector offering a female straight plug with internal thread and pigtail, rated for 8 A and 30 ft of STOOW #16 AWG cable, ideal for ordinary locations in automated lines.
IP68 protection guards against dust ingress and sustained submersion in water, making this cordset suitable for washdowns, outdoor equipment, and damp industrial zones. The rating supports long-term reliability in environments where standard enclosures and connections would suffer corrosion or short circuits, reducing maintenance frequency and downtime.
Yes. ML5C4WC300FY is designed to NEC/CEC IEC compliant performance for general industrial use and carries NEMA ratings 1, 3, 13, 6P, and 4, which helps match the cordset to panel wiring, machinery enclosures, and hazardous-location considerations within ordinary locations.
Plan routing to minimize tension and bending on the #16 AWG STOOW conductors, keep connections protected from exposure to chemicals, and use the internal-thread plug to maintain a secure seal. The 30 ft length provides flexibility for locating control panels at a comfortable distance from machines, reducing splices and simplifying cable management.
Benefits include reduced wiring complexity due to the integrated pigtail and internal-thread connector, less downtime from robust IP68 protection, fewer field modifications with compliant NEC/CEC IEC and NEMA ratings, and longer service life from nylon housing. Overall, you gain faster commissioning, fewer repair intervals, and lower lifecycle costs in automation environments.
