The field proven MX150 Connector System offers a USCAR interface, superior operating temperatures and current ratings up to 22.0A to support compact automotive and commercial vehicle applications.
Features and Benefits
In the Automotive and Commercial Vehicles industries, engineers are continually challenged to provide more electronics in the same space, accommodating faster assembly times to reduce production costs. The MX150 Connector System offers a reduced package size over traditional USCAR connectors and is designed for simple and secure assembly.
Customers are looking for a reliable, robust and proven connector design to use for 48V wiring applications. MX150 Mid-Voltage Connectors use the proven MX150 design, upgraded for a voltage rating of up to 60V.
Customers want to meet the market demand for more powerful, higher performance motors using oil cooling and need electrical connectivity that will work with these designs. MX150 Pass-Through Sealed Connectors are designed to enable oil-cooled electric motor technology through a sealed, oil-resistant design.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes MX150 Connectors different from the competition?
With the mat seal technology, MX150 Connector System is significantly smaller than other comparable USCAR connectors, making it valuable for engineers struggling with space constraint challenges.
How does the Molex MX150 Pass-Through Sealed Connector design provide superior sealing performance?
- The design uses potting in the terminal interface.
- The unique two-ring seal option delivers redundancy when compared with typical single-ring sealed connectors.
- The two-lip ring seal design provides a more reliable seal.
- The anti-oil seal is designed specifically for oil-cooled motor applications.
Why do MX150 Pass-Through Sealed Connectors use a stackable 2 by 3 connector design?
The stackable design includes a connector for the temperature sensor assembly and a connector for the rotary transformer assembly. With other designs, these sub-assemblies are provided by different suppliers. With MX150 Pass-Through Connectors, the combined design provides procurement flexibility and helps reduce supply chain risks.
