MX150 Hybrid Blade Plug — 8 Positions, Key A
The Molex 1600793001 is an 8-position hybrid blade plug from the MX150 160079 series, configured as 6 signal circuits plus 2 dedicated power circuits in a single 2-row housing. It uses blade pin contacts (male) with crimp termination, making it the plug half of a wire-to-wire interconnect system.
Hybrid Layout — What the 6 + 2 Power Means
The 8 (6 + 2 Power) position count is the defining feature of this plug. It is not a standard 8-circuit MX150 connector — the two power positions use larger blade contacts to handle higher current, while the six signal positions use standard-size contacts. This hybrid layout lets a single connector body carry both a power feed and sensor signals in one harness junction, saving a separate power connector. The Key A variant ensures it only mates with a Key A receptacle, preventing mis-mating with other keyed versions in the same series.
The crimp termination means you select the correct Molex MX150 crimp terminals for your wire gauge — typically 18-22 AWG for signal positions and 14-18 AWG for power positions, though the exact terminal part numbers depend on wire size and current requirement.
