As a perfect replacement for industry-standard connection systems in vital wiring applications in vehicles exposed to harsh environments, the ML-XT connection is offered at a competitive price and is suitable for a wide variety of sensor technologies and functions with a reduced number of circuits.
“Compliant with the IP68 standard, the ML-XT is the most reliable sealed connection system on the market,” says Denis O’Sullivan, Molex Global Product Manager, adding, “The advanced, integrated, one-piece gaskets, molded using two shots of liquid silicone rubber (LSR), prevent fluid ingress even under extreme conditions. By enabling permanent and repeatable gasket engagement during coupling and uncoupling, this molding technology ensures correct gasket positioning for optimal integrity. Furthermore, it eliminates the risk of losing or forgetting gaskets during installation and maintenance.”
The ML-XT system is initially available in a 2-circuit version with 9 color-coded housings and 2 wire gauges. It includes Molex's proven XRC™ terminals rated up to 13.0 A, compatible with the tools commonly used by wiring manufacturers. Requiring fewer components than currently available versions, the ML-XT system helps manufacturers reduce inventory, simplifies assembly, and saves on final assembly costs.
