12-Position Sealed Receptacle Housing for MX150 Harnesses
The Molex MX150 1600746009 is a 12-position receptacle housing from the MX150 160074 series, designed as the female half of a sealed wire-to-wire or wire-to-board interconnect system. It accepts female socket contacts (sold separately) terminated via crimp, and the housing itself is free-hanging for in-line harness assembly. The gray polyamide (PA6) glass-filled body carries a Connector Position Assurance (CPA) feature and is sealed, making it suited for environments where moisture, dust, or vibration are present — typical in automotive, off-road, marine, and industrial control applications.
Contacts Not Included — Order Separately
This housing ships without contacts — the listing explicitly notes Contacts Not Included. You will need to source the matching MX150 female crimp terminals and a compatible crimp tool.
Sealed Construction with CPA for Vibration Resistance
The sealed design, combined with the Connector Position Assurance (CPA) feature, means the housing provides environmental protection and a positive lock that resists accidental unmating under vibration. This is a key differentiator from unsealed housings — the CPA latch must be intentionally released before the connector can be separated, which is critical in applications where harnesses are routed through engine bays, undercarriages, or washdown zones.
