Panel-Mount Power Receptacle for Harsh Environments
The Amphenol MRDBF04L13000 is a 4-position receptacle from the BrightConnX MRD series, designed as a rugged, sealed interconnect for industrial applications. This female socket connector uses a keyed orientation and latch-lock fastening to ensure correct mating and vibration-resistant retention. The black PBT shell carries an IP67 rating for dust-tight and waterproof sealing when mated, making it suited for washdown, outdoor, and high-humidity environments. Rated 10A per contact at 400VAC, with gold-plated mating surfaces on copper alloy contacts for corrosion resistance over repeated mating cycles.
Sealing and Mounting for Enclosure Integration
The IP67 rating means this connector seals against dust ingress and temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes — a requirement for panel-mounted interfaces on industrial cabinets, outdoor lighting, or marine equipment. The panel mount uses a bulkhead rear-side nut (Mounting Feature: Bulkhead - Rear Side Nut), which means the receptacle installs from the front of the panel and the nut tightens from behind, requiring access to the interior side of the enclosure wall.
Termination is via solder cup — each contact has a cup that accepts a stripped wire end for soldering. This is a field-termination method, common for prototype, low-volume, or repair work where crimp tooling is not available. The connector is unshielded, so it is not intended for RF or high-frequency signal paths where EMI shielding is needed.
Mating and Cross-Reference
No direct cross-reference or equivalent from another manufacturer is on record; the BrightConnX MRD series is Amphenol's own sealed industrial line. The 4-position count and 10A rating per contact define the power circuit the connector can handle — match the BOM line count and the current draw per circuit when selecting.
