Molex has announced the Squba 1.80mm-Pitch Sealed Wire-to-Wire Connector System, designed to fit in small spaces and provide protection against liquid, dust and dirt. The connectors carry up to a 6.0A current and provide an IP67 NEMA rating on the seals. Seals are retained with caps to provide manufacturers of sensors, lighting, vending machines and liquid dispensers with a durable barrier from moisture and dust.

This Molex product is flexible, with options for two to 10 circuits, operating temperature limits ranging from -40 to +105ºC, and 30N of terminal retention. The positive latch is low profile and is designed to prevent wires from getting caught or damaged.

The seal and seal caps protect against on-the-job damage and guard against shipping and handling abuse as well as the possibility of puncturing the seals during assembly.

Compared to similar sealed connector products, the Molex Squba 1.80mm-Pitch Sealed Wire-to-Wire Connector System offers a narrower pitch and a larger range of circuit sizes and is both waterproof and dust-resistant.

“Ultimately, this new Squba system will provide more cost-effective power,” said Michael Gonzalez, global product manager, Molex. “Through innovation, we are driving more power in smaller spaces.”
