Sealed 12-Position Housing for Harsh Environments
The Molex 1601116002 is a 12-position receptacle housing from the MX150 160111 series, built for sealed wire-to-wire or wire-to-board interconnects in demanding conditions. The gray PA6 glass-filled housing carries the sealed designation, meaning the assembled connector with proper seals and mating header resists moisture and debris ingress — suited for underhood automotive, off-highway equipment, or outdoor industrial cabinets where a washdown or rain exposure is routine.
Pitch and Position Fit for the Harness
The 3.50mm pitch matches the standard MX150 footprint, so the board-side header and wire-dress spacing are fixed by this dimension. The 12 positions in two rows (6 per row) line up with a 12-circuit harness schematic — confirm the circuit count before committing the BOM line.
Temperature Range and Sealing for Real Duty
The sealed feature requires the correct mating header and terminal position assurance (TPA) to achieve the IP rating — the housing alone is the shell; the full seal comes from the assembled connector system. Crimp termination (female socket contacts sold separately) lets you field-terminate wires with the MX150 crimp tool, replacing a damaged pin without scrapping the whole harness.
