Features and Benefits


Complete System Solution

MX150 offers a complete package solution for 1.50mm connector systems. Designers can choose compatible male and female connectors and terminals that are provided in various plating options to meet specific application needs.

Flexibility and Space Savings

Space and mass savings are more crucial than ever for internal combustion engine (ICE)-powered and battery electric vehicles, due to challenging EPA regulations and the need to reduce battery size. MX150 is a product family that is constantly evolving to offer a wide range of circuit sizes and hybrid connector options. As a result, designers benefit from flexibility and space savings.

High-Quality, Reliable Connections Under Harsh Environments

The MX150 product family is a proven and industry-tested offering with excellent warranty performance. In addition, the products offer highly engineered connector housings, sealing technology and position assurance designs that ensure high-quality connections, making MX150 a go-to solution for designers.

Sealed Connectors

Preassembled TPA housing:
Helps ensure crimped terminal leads are correctly locked into the connector; TPA will not seat into the final locked position and the connector system will not latch if the terminal is not locked

USCAR-20 (FCLT)/USCAR-2 Rev.4/USCAR-21:
Is able to be used in on-engine, high-vibration, under-hood and under-chassis environments at class four temperatures

Options include a panel-mount gasket seal, a high-temperature thermoplastic housing, M3 grip terminal:
Provides design flexibility

3.50mm pitch housing design:
Supports single-row configurations for 2 to 6 circuits and dual-row configurations for 4-, 6-, 8-, 12-, 16-, 20- and 16-circuit hybrid

A protective matte-seal cap (standard connectors):

Protects, securely retains and provides strain relief to wire seal interface

Mat seal technology for MX150 (1.50mm) terminals:
Eliminates the need for individual cable seals, which provides reduced package size and reduced cost

Sealed Connectors Continued

One-piece housing and TPA:
Provides applied cost savings

1.50mm low-insertion terminal system:
Provides a high-performance connection for mid-power (14 to 22 AWG) applications

USCAR Interface:

Is the released and approved interface for major North American manufacturers

V0 versions available (UL1977 certified):
Meets stringent safety requirements

USCAR-20 (FCLT)/USCAR-2 Rev.4/USCAR-21:
Can be used in on-engine, high vibration, under-hood and under-chassis environments at class three temperatures

Single- and dual-row backshells/wire dress covers available:
Provides additional protection for the wires out the back of the connector; secures cable bundle; provides strain relief

16-, 12-, 10-, 9- and 8-way connectors available:
Offers versatility to meet a range of applications

Terminals

Tin, Silver and Gold options available for blade and receptacle matte seal and cable seal terminals:
Offers reliable, economic connectivity

Current rating up to 22.0A:
Delivers superior performance

Overview


In the Automotive and Commercial Vehicles industries, engineers are continually challenged to provide more electronics in the same space, accommodating faster assembly times to reduce production costs. The MX150 Connector System offers a reduced package size over traditional USCAR connectors and is designed for simple and secure assembly.
