MX150 Sealed Receptacle for Automotive Harness Builds
The Molex MX150 1600765006 is a 10-circuit, 2-row receptacle housing from the MX150 160076 series, designed for sealed, free-hanging wire-to-wire or wire-to-board interconnects in automotive and off-road vehicle harnesses. The 0.138" (3.50mm) pitch provides adequate creepage for the 125°C operating ceiling, and the black polyamide housing carries the Connector Position Assurance (CPA) feature plus a latch holder fastening — both required for USCAR-class vibration and thermal cycling environments.
Sealed Construction with Connector Position Assurance
The latch holder fastening secures the mate, and the CPA must be engaged after the connector is fully seated to confirm the mate is complete.
Crimp Termination and Terminal Compatibility
The receptacle accepts crimp-terminated female socket contacts (not included). The 3.50mm pitch and 2-row layout suit 18-22 AWG wire commonly used in sealed automotive harnesses. The crimp barrel must be matched to the wire gauge and the seal plug size — the MX150 terminal family includes several contact plating options (tin or gold) depending on the required mating cycle count and corrosion resistance. Use the correct MX150 crimp tool or an approved hand tool to achieve the specified pull-force and seal compression.
