Molex Incorporated introduces its ML-XT Sealed Connection System, a securely sealed connection system that minimizes electrical failures in grueling commercial vehicle applications. Rated IP68 and J2030 power-wash capable, the ML-XT system features a one-piece plug housing and seal design, which is permanently bonded using cutting-edge, two-shot LSR (liquid silicone rubber) molding technology. This ensures definitive and repeatable retention of the plug seal and prevents the seal from rolling during un-mating and mating to guarantee correct seal positioning. It also eliminates the risk of a lost or forgotten seal during installation and maintenance.
The ML-XT rear seals are made from high consistency rubber (HCR) for greater tear resistance and protection during terminal insertion and extraction. The protective rear covers allow for flexible cable exits and cable movement while maintaining the optimum seal position to prevent leak paths. Wedgelocks or TPAs (Terminal Position Assurance) lock the terminals in position for a reliable electrical contact while the plug housing features an integral locking latch for secure mating.
The ML-XT system is currently offered in 2-, 4-, 6- and 18-circuit options, providing design flexibility for a vast range of sensor technologies and low circuit-count applications. The proven Molex XRC terminals deliver current ratings up to 13.0 A while the nine color-coded housings enable easy visual mating of harnesses to prevent mis-mating.
