The 0.138\" (3.50mm) pitch gives enough spacing for 18-22 AWG power and signal circuits without crowding the crimp pockets. A latch holder with Connector Position Assurance (CPA) locks the pair against vibration, and the glass-filled nylon housing handles -40°C to 150°C, making it a fit for underhood or engine-adjacent harnesses. ## What the CPA and Temperature Range Mean for the Harness The Connector Position Assurance (CPA) feature is a secondary lock that engages after the primary latch, preventing accidental unmating from thermal cycling or vibration. In an automotive harness running near the engine block or transmission, that secondary lock is what keeps the signal path intact when the chassis is shaking. The -40°C to 150°C operating range confirms the housing material — a blend of glass-filled polyamide and syndiotactic polystyrene — can take the thermal shock of a cold start in winter and the soak heat of a summer engine bay without cracking or softening.","metaTitle":"Molex MX150 33472 0334721770 Receptacle, 16 Circuit, 3.50 mm","metaDescription":"Molex 0334721770 MX150 33472 receptacle, 16 positions, 3.50 mm pitch, 2 rows, gray, CPA latch, -40°C to 150°C.
