Fully-sealed interconnect system from Molex

The MX123 system uses interfacial and matte-seal technologies to optimise sealing performance and reduce package size and harness-assembly complexity. Matte seal technology allows closer-to-centre terminal spacing and eliminates the need for crimping individual cable seals. The interfacial seal is interior to the connector shroud, protecting it from damage during harness handling. Plus, the header pins are protected from scooping by a centre wall that extends longer than the terminal length.



“Based on 064- and 280-size terminal systems, the MX123 provides optimal electrical performance in high-vibration applications such as small diesel and turbo engines,” said Scott Reynolds, global product manager for Sealed Connector Systems at Molex. “Indeed, the 064-size terminal system has increased normal force and selective precious plating required to maintain performance characteristics in the most demanding environments.”



The MX123 lever receptacles mate with the MX123 vertical headers, and are designed to provide flexibility by offering two mounting-style options, three PCB electrical strategies and multiple-plating options. They can be vertically mounted from the top or bottom of a casting. The headers are available for through-hole solder processing, compliant-pin or wire-bonding technologies with precious gold or silver plating.
