FAQs
ML8C4WC300FX uses an eight-pole passive connector in a stainless steel housing with STOOW cable and #16 AWG conductors, extended to 30 ft. It is designed to be compatible with LynxPOWER passive receptacles and standard Style II connectors, enabling straightforward cross‑compatibility and simplified spares management.
IP68 provides complete protection against dust ingress and immersion in water, making the cordset suitable for washdown zones and moisture-prone areas. Coupled with the stainless steel housing, this reduces corrosion-related failures and maintenance, improving uptime in manufacturing and packaging lines.
The ML8C4WC300FX aligns with IEC, NEC/CEC standards and carries NEMA ratings 1, 4, 3, 13, 6P. It is intended for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, offering broad regulatory compatibility for global installations and easier code compliance in diverse facilities.
Plan for adequate bend radii for #16 AWG conductors and ensure proper strain relief at the plug-end to preserve IP68 integrity. The 30 ft length provides flexibility across machine layouts, while the internal thread and pigtail simplify field termination and reduce the risk of loose connections in dynamic environments.
The combination of IP68 protection, stainless steel construction, and robust eight-pole connectivity reduces maintenance and replacement costs, lowers field wiring errors, and supports longer mean time between failures. This translates to higher uptime, fewer spare-part needs, and quicker upgrades or expansions in automated lines.
