JAE MX80 Waterproof Automotive Connectors
JAE MX80 Series Waterproof Automotive In-Line Connectors meet ISO/JASO/EWCAP/VDA standards with a 0.64mm tab size and provide Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) on pin and socket housings. The MX80 series connectors are tested to USCAR-2 and LV214 standards, offering IPX7 ingress protection. These connectors feature an integrated bracket for chassis fastening and are compatible with 2.54mm pitch pin contacts. MX80 automotive connectors operate within a temperature range from -40°C to +125°C and support a dielectric withstanding voltage of 500V AC for 1 minute. Typical applications include body sensors, interior/exterior lighting, peripheral devices, and sunroof modules.

In this video, we will review the proper insertion and extraction of crimp terminals into the JAE MX80 Series Connectors. These handling instructions are the same for all color key codes wire sizes and pin counts when inserting crimped terminals into the connector housings. First, make sure the retainer is in the open or unlocked position connectors are shipped from Jae with the retainers already in the unlock position. The crimped terminal will be inserted from the back of the housing the terminals are polarized so they will not seat properly in the housing. If inserted upside down when the terminal is properly inserted there will be an audible and tactile click indicating it is fully inserted and the first terminal retention latch is engaged to test. If the terminal is inserted correctly gently pull on the wire with no greater than 20N of force the retainer must now be closed to complete. The assembly process for the socket connector the retainer can be closed by hand by pushing the retainer into position for the pin connector. The retainer is recessed inside of the mating face so a small tool will be necessary to push it into position. Be careful not to bend or otherwise damage the pin terminals which are present inside the mating face. If the retainer cannot be easily pushed to the closed position then one or more of the terminals is not fully inserted or was not properly crimped gently pull on each wire with a force no greater than 20N. To see which one is not fully seated if the crimp terminal appears to be in good shape try reinserting it into the housing and then closing the retainer once more in order to remove or extract crimped terminals from the connector housings. The retainer must first be pulled to the open position for the socket connector. This can be done manually by grabbing the retainer and pulling it away from the main insulator for the pin connector.
A special retainer extraction tool is required in order to pull the retainer into the open position. Insert the retainer extraction tool into the designated opening of the mating face take caution not to damage the pin terminals inside the mating face hook in the tip of the tool on the inside of the retainer and pull outward to move the retainer. To the open position both retainers only need to move around 1.5mm and will not require more than 25N of pulling force to open. If the retainer is accidentally pulled off the connector carefully inspect it to make sure there was no damage to the part if there is no damage. Reinstall it to the connector with the retainer set to the open position use the dedicated terminal extraction tool to release the latch holding the terminal. In the housing make sure to insert the terminal extraction tool into the correct open opening without damaging the terminals. Make sure not to begin pulling on the wire being extracted until after the tool has been fully inserted to release the latch holding the terminal in the housing. If the crimp terminal cannot be easily pulled out with minimal force the terminal extraction tool may not be inserted far enough or in the correct position. Release any tension on the wire and attempt extraction process again when re-using a crimp terminal or connector housing. Make sure to visually inspect them to make sure there are no scratches or other physical damage. If there is any damage please replace with new parts we recommend using designated extraction tools designed and manufactured by JAE to ensure the safest and easiest terminal extraction process
