FEATURES AND BENEFITS
MX150L SEALED CONNECTOR SYSTEMS - EXPLODED VIEW
The pre-assembled, submersible MX150L is a
high performance connector system suitable for
challenging, rugged and harsh applications.
The MX150L sealed connector system is designed to meet
the need for a rugged, environmentally sealed connector
system supporting both low-level signal applications as well
as power applications up to 40.0A, from on-engine
automotive and marine applications to off-road construction
equipment applications. The system is comprised of wire-to-
wire, wire-to-panel and wire-to-board configurations.
These innovative mat-sealed connectors are based upon the
1.50 and 2.50mm (.059 and .098") blade-type terminals.
This design eliminates the need to purchase, handle and
crimp individual wire seals to lower applied cost. The mat-
seal design is a single silicone-based seal with individual
wire openings and a seal cap to protect, securely retain, and
provide strain relief to the seal. The cost-effective connector
design features all-in-one plug and receptacle housings with
pre-assembled mat-wire and interfacial connector seals.
Integral Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) and optional
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) components eliminate
time-consuming and costly assembly operations. Completing
the application is as simple as crimping the appropriate
terminal, inserting the crimped terminal lead and seating
the TPA to its final locked position. No additional
components are required.
Tooling solutions include FineAdjust™ crimp press
applicators for high-volume production, as well as hand
tools for low-volume production and field repairs.
■ Pre-assembled connector housings, seals, TPA components
and mat-seal cap shipped in one piece to provide applied
labor and cost savings
■ Integral TPA assures that crimped terminal leads are
properly locked into connector (TPA will not seat into
final lock position and connector system will not latch if
terminal is not locked properly into position)
■ Conforms to UL 1977, which allows for a UL recognized
sealed connector system for use in data, signal, control
and power applications
■ Superior electrical and mechanical performance
capabilities surpass performance of most mature
competitive products in market
■ Audible and tactile clicks on insertion, extraction and
mating feedback facilitates reliable mating and terminal
loading and removal
■ Unused circuits can be blocked using plastic seal plugs,
which facilitates flexibility of sealing unused circuits
without adding complexity to part numbers and
customer inventory
■ Integral locking latch with secondary, pre-loaded CPA
option assures that connector system is properly latched.
CPA will not move to final locked position if connector is
not latched. Confirms positive mating of connector
■ Sealed panel mount plugs are equipped with a blind hole
boss feature which reduces extra hardware while
improving the sealing process during assembly by
eliminating a leak path
■ Integral, 2-way mat and interface seals designed and
tested to IEC IP 67 and SAE USCAR-2, Rev. 3 standards
exceeds “waterproof” demands as a true sealed
connector system tested under submersed conditions in
various fluids
■ Easy terminal insertion and extraction provides quick,
low-cost field repairs using common screw driver, needle
nose pliers and terminal extraction tool
■ Protective mat-seal cap protects, securely retains, and
provides strain relief to wire seal interface
■ Simple crimp, poke and plug application eliminates need
to crimp individual wire seals

Plug Connector
NOTE: All discrete components shown above for
both the receptacle and plug housings
are pre-assembled. Terminals are simply
crimped and poked into the housings.
No additional wire seals, wedge locks or
CPA locks are required.
