while the male and female connectors corresponding to safety applications are distinguished by their yellow outer casings.
The MXP120 1.20 mm sealed connector system, with a 4.00 mm pitch, offers excellent mating, sealing, and performance characteristics for applications in harsh environments. In addition to 1 x 3, 1 x 4, and 1 x 6 circuit sizes, the connection system includes a 1 x 2 version, which meets the ergonomic requirements of the USCAR-25 standard, particularly regarding the CPA's push surface. Automotive manufacturers, including those for commercial vehicles, can use MXP120 devices to replace 1.50 mm terminal connections in space-constrained applications.
The MXP120 sealed male and female connectors offer many other important advantages, including:
• A Single Wire Seal (SWS) connection system with a perimeter seal compliant with the IPX8 standard, which withstands high water pressures (IPX9K) under certain conditions.
• Compatibility with AK and USCAR interfaces.
• A design based on the globally recognized AK cavity definition, enabling worldwide acceptance and marketability.
• The ability to handle power requirements up to 13.0 A.
Key safety applications for MXP120 yellow connector systems include supplemental inflatable restraint systems, safety restraint systems, seat belt pretensioners, and driver, curtain, and side airbags. Applications for MXP120 black connector systems include electronic connections in damp areas, such as exterior lights, turn signals, and door locking mechanisms. The black connectors are also suitable for the harsh environments of powertrain systems, such as fuel injection systems, emissions controls, and ignition coils.
The MXP120 sealed connector systems are not only suitable for automotive applications, but are also suitable for numerous industrial and consumer equipment where sealing is required and space is limited.
