Commercial vehicle applications, especially agricultural machinery, are becoming more intelligent with increased wiring requirements and demands for hybrid technology.
Molex’s new-generation SRC family offers a rugged, sealed, wire-to-panel (bulkhead) and wire-to-wire hybrid connection system designed for high circuit-count applications in harsh environments.
The primary location for this system is as the firewall connector, situated between the cab and the engine, but it can also replace existing circular connectors in various in-vehicle applications.
The SRC system uses proven MX150 terminals with current ratings up to 18 A and MX150L terminals with current ratings up to 40 A. Flexible standard or mixed power/signal options are available.
The MX150 and MX150L terminal systems provide cost savings by eliminating the need to purchase, handle and crimp individual wire seals. This proven terminal technology provides flexibility to increase circuit count and allows for simple field repair and replacement of headers and connectors.
An optional flange seal and dust cover are available. Tooling options include fine-adjust crimp press applicators for high-volume production and hand tools for low-volume production.
