12-Circuit Sealed Receptacle for Harsh Environments
The Molex MX150 1600746004 is a 12-position, 2-row sealed receptacle from the MX150 160074 series, designed for wire-to-wire or wire-to-board interconnects in environments where moisture, vibration, and temperature extremes are routine. The gray housing colour distinguishes this variant within the MX150 line.
Sealed Construction and Latch Retention
This is a sealed connector — the housing carries an integrated seal that, when mated with the corresponding MX150 header, meets IP6K7K and IP6K9K ratings for high-pressure washdown and temporary immersion.
Crimp Termination and Contact System
Contacts are female sockets terminated by crimp — the MX150 system uses a standard 1.50mm or 2.80mm terminal depending on current requirement (the specific terminal gauge is selected at harness build). The crimp barrel gives a gas-tight connection to 18-22 AWG wire, and the contact retention in the housing is verified by the TPA. Bulk packaging means the housing ships loose for manual or automated assembly.
Mating Half and System Compatibility
The mating connector for the 1600746004 is a Molex MX150 header — typically a 12-circuit, 2-row, 3.50mm pitch male header with the same latch holder feature. The header may be a board-mount (through-hole or SMT) or a panel-mount variant. The seal is carried in the receptacle housing, so the header side does not require a separate gasket.
