It carries a 0.138\" (3.50 mm) pitch, uses female socket contacts terminated by crimp, and mounts free-hanging (in-line). The black glass-filled PA6 housing includes Connector Position Assurance (CPA) and a latch holder fastening system, confirming the connector is fully mated and locked — critical for applications where vibration or thermal cycling could otherwise back a contact out. The sealed construction and CPA make this receptacle suited for underhood automotive harnesses, off-highway equipment, and any power or signal interconnect exposed to moisture, dust, or washdown. ## Pitch, Sealing, and Temperature Class At 3.50 mm pitch, this receptacle provides adequate creepage for the voltage levels typical of 12 V and 24 V automotive systems while keeping the connector body compact for harness routing in tight bays. The sealed housing (listed as a feature) blocks ingress from road spray, coolant splash, and pressure washing — no separate boot or overmold required for IP-rated performance when mated with the matching MX150 plug. The -40°C to 125°C rating is the full operating band, not storage. That means the connector carries rated current across the automotive temperature class 3 range, covering both cold-soak starts and underhood heat soak. The glass-filled PA6 insulation material holds dimensional stability through thermal cycling without warping the latch or seal surfaces.","metaTitle":"Molex MX150 1600783016 Receptacle, 8-Circuit, Sealed, CPA","metaDescription":"Molex MX150 1600783016 8-circuit receptacle, 3.50mm pitch, sealed with CPA.
