Molex MX150 Connectors

Molex MX150 Connectors are field-proven Sealed Connector Systems that offer a USCAR interface with efficient operating temperatures. The MX150 connectors are available with Connector Position Assurance (CPA) options and come with a preassembled Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) and grommet cap. These MX150 connectors feature Mid-voltage 48V that offers significant cost and weight savings by reducing wire size in a variety of in-vehicle applications. MX150 connectors have a current rating of up to 22A. The MX150 Pass-Through connectors deliver procurement flexibility and minimize supply chain risks. Their sealed, oil-resistant design supports oil-cooled electric motor technology. These connectors provide a maximum dielectric withstanding voltage of 1000V and 1500V AC. Typical applications include vehicles, marine, sensors, speakers, inverters, lighting, and robotics.

If you can’t stand the heat, it’s time to get out of the kitchen. If the connectors in your vehicle can’t stand the heat, it's time to check out the Molex MX150 connectors. The field-proven sealed connector system offers a superior operating temperature with a range of -40°C to 150°C. Rated up to 22A, the MX150 form factor delivers lightweight wiring for a maximum operating voltage of up to 60V and a minimum dielectric withstanding voltage of 1000V.

The pre-assembled terminal position assurance housing, connector position assurance, and grommet cap ensure proper connector alignment for reliable termination in harsh environments susceptible to vibration, moisture, and chemicals. With the USCAR interface and multiple extension options, the MX150 connector is made compatible across the automotive industry as well as industrial automation.
