Molex Squba 1.8mm/3.6mm Sealed Wire-to-Wire Connectors

Molex 1.80mm and 3.60mm Pitch Sealed Wire-to-Wire Connector Systems offer a UL-approved IP68 rating for dust and water protection, ensuring reliable connections even in wet conditions. The low-profile positive latch on these Squba connectors prevents the wire from getting caught on the latch and damaging it. The Squba sealed wire-to-wire connectors feature weather caps that provide robust protection and high reliability in harsh environments. These connectors support up to 14A and operate from -40°C to +105°C, making them ideal for commercial vehicle, connected home, consumer, and industrial uses.

Squba Sealed Cavity Plugs are essential accessories for the Squba Sealed Wire-to-Wire Connector System. These plugs are designed to safeguard unused circuits against moisture ingress and harsh environments, maintaining the connector's IP-rated sealing performance even when fewer circuits are active. The plugs provide designers with instant flexibility to reconfigure assemblies while ensuring long-term reliability by eliminating the risk of electrical failure in unused cavities.

If you are fed up with using bulky connectors to keep your connections sealed, then dive into the datasheets of scuba connectors from Molex. Scuba is a 1.8mm wire-to-wire connector system. It offers IP67 sealing for up to 10 circuits in space-constrained applications, ensuring a reliable connection in wet and dusty environments. The connectors carry up to 6A of current, and not only do you get a tight pitch with Scuba, but the housing is compact and features a low-profile positive latch to prevent it from snagging on wires and getting damaged. The IP67 seals are achieved with an interface ring seal and a terminal mat seal, both of which are protected to prevent damage to the seal during assembly, handling, and in use. The housing seal caps also guide terminals during insertion to prevent them from puncturing the seal. All of this is designed into Molex scuba connectors to provide you with a reliable sealed connector system that fits in crowded designs.
