Molex MLX Power Connectors

Molex MLX Power Connectors feature fully isolated terminals that protect contacts from potential damage during handling and mating while providing electrical isolation. The MLX power connectors utilize circular contacts and positive terminal locking to ensure terminals are fully seated, thereby reducing terminal back-out. These power connectors offer a slit-pin design of male terminals, reducing the mating forces. MLX connectors support a maximum voltage of 600V and a maximum current of 20A. Typical applications include automation equipment, construction equipment, heavy equipment systems, marine equipment, and recreational vehicles.

Features

  • Circular contacts and positive locking of terminals ensure full seating within the housing, minimizing terminal back-out
  • Design-flexible plugs and housings enable easy integration into wire-to-board applications
  • Fully isolated terminals protect contacts from damage during handling and mating and provide electrical isolation
  • Industry-standard plugs, caps, and terminals offer design flexibility
  • Terminals and headers in Gold and Tin plating provide cost options while meeting performance needs
  • The positive-lock housing ensures secure engagement and provides an audible click during mating, preventing accidental disconnection
  • The slit-pin design of male terminals reduces mating forces
