FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS
The pre-assembled, submersible MX150 is a high-performance connector system ideal for SAE-
style wire in single- and dual-row configurations for challenging, rugged and harsh applications
The MX150 Sealed Connector System is designed to
meet the need for a rugged, environmentally sealed
connector system supporting both low-level signal and
power applications up to 22.0A. Designed for on-
engine automotive to off-road construction equipment
applications, the MX150 Sealed Connector System’s
reduced package size is ideal for typical SAE-style wire.
The innovative matte-sealed connector is based upon
the 1.50mm (060) ISO blade-type terminal system,
available with pre-Tin, selective Gold and pure Silver
contact finishes. This design eliminates the need to
purchase, handle and crimp individual wire seals to
lower applied cost. The matte-seal design is a single
silicone-based seal with individual wire openings and a
seal cap to protect, securely retain and provide strain
relief to the seal. The cost-effective connector design
Features and Benefits
n
Reduced 3.50mm (.138”) pitch housing design
supports single-row configurations for 2, 3, 4, 5
and 6 circuits and dual-row configurations for
4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 16 circuit hybrid
n
Pre-assembled housing, seal, TPA components and
matte-seal connector shipped as single assembly
for applied labor and cost savings protective
matte-seal cap protects, securely retains and
provides strain relief to wire seal interface
n
Protective matte-seal cap protects, securely retains
and provides strain relief to wire seal interface
n
Unused circuits can be blocked using plastic seal
plugs to facilitate flexibility of sealing unused
circuits without adding complexity to part numbers
and customer inventory
n
Simple crimp, poke and plug design ensures no
need to crimp individual wire seals
n
Easy terminal extraction and insertion for quick,
low-cost field repairs using common screw driver,
needle nose pliers and terminal extraction tool
n
High connector and terminal retention forces
exceed USCAR-2 Rev 4 specifications and offer
high reliability under extreme conditions
n
Integral Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) assures
that crimped terminal leads are properly locked
into connector (TPA will not seat into final locked
position and connector system will not latch if
terminal is not locked properly into position)
n
Integral locking latch with secondary, pre-loaded
connector position assurance (CPA) option confirms
positive mating of connector and proper latching
(CPA will not move to final locked position if
connector is not latched)
n
Audible and tactile clicks on insertion, extraction
and mating; feedback facilitates reliable mating
and terminal loading and removal
n
Superior electrical and mechanical performance
capabilities surpass performance of most mature
competitive products in the market
n
Conforms to USCAR-20 (FCLT) / USCAR-2 Rev 4
/ USCAR-21 for use in on-engine, high-vibration,
under-hood and under-chassis applications at class
3 temperatures
n
Integral, two-way matte and interfacial seals
designed and tested to IEC IP67 and SAE USCAR-2,
Rev 4 standards exceed “waterproof” demands
as a true sealed connector system tested under
submersed conditions in various fluids
features all-in-one plug and receptacle housings with
pre-assembled, wire and interfacial connector seals.
Integral terminal position assurance (TPA) and optional
connector position assurance (CPA) components
eliminate time-consuming and costly assembly
operations. Completing the application is as simple
as crimping the appropriate terminal, inserting the
crimped terminal lead and seating the TPA to its final
lock position. No additional components are required.
Tooling solutions include FineAdjust™ crimp-press
applicators for high-volume production, as well as hand
tools for low-volume production and field repairs.
