Molex introduces the most robust and rugged wiresealed connector system designed for superior value, ideal for light-vehicle applications not requiring USCAR specifications Faced with increased competition and price pressures, domestic vehicle manufacturers of non-uscar automotive, light commercial vehicles, 3- and 2-wheelers (motorcycles and scooters) in emerging-economy countries are replacing legacy, sealed wire-to-wire interconnect solutions (used in these applications) with lower-cost, higher-performance equivalents. The MX150 CE sealed wire-to-wire connector system was developed to deliver higher value and performance car makers need. Designed to operate reliably under harsh environmental and geological conditions where vast travel distances, rugged terrain, poor road conditions and extreme weather temperatures are expected, this highly compact, sealed interconnect solution is the ideal choice for maximum space and cost savings.
