Mencom PICs are rated IP65 (NEMA 4, 4X, 12), reducing potential risk of the enclosure being exposed to any unwanted substances in harsh environments.
In addition to the traditional PIC where multiple components can be mixed into one housing to meet specific needs, smaller interface circular connectors, known as port adapters, are available in metal and plastic versions and can easily be mounted to a cabinet through a 1in. diameter hole. These circular port adapters are designed to use a single interface component. Several component options are available including RJ45, RJ11, USB type A, USB type B, BNC, and fiber optics connectors. Like the traditional PIC, these port adapters are also rated IP65.
T35 DIN Rail Modules, also known as breakout boards, are designed to make connections inside the panel. They can be mounted with connectors to the DIN rail while taking up minimal space.
