Features and Benefits

As automotive OEMs build the vehicle of the future, they must address the increasing need for more controllers near the engine. The Molex CMC/CMX connector system can help OEMs transform their vehicle architectures and gain a competitive edge.

This innovative family of products offers a wide range of sealed, high density, hybrid, wire-to-board and wire-to-wire off-the-shelf solutions designed to perform in harsh environments and in high-performance applications where currents are needed for up to 21.0A. CMC/CMX products are developed and validated according to the global automotive market’s strictest requirements.

 

A sealed, modular, high-density, on-demand solution

The CMC/CMX connector system offers a wide range of ready-to-use, cost-effective and validated solutions from one source. The wire-to-board and wire-to-wire sealed hybrid connector systems range from 22 to 154 circuit counts with signal, mid-power and power terminal sizes supplied for wire sections from 0.35 to 5.00mm² (ISO, TXL, FLRY types).
