Molex's rugged ML-XT connection system with high-performance seal technology is a cost-competitive solution offering superior reliability for critical vehicle-wiring applications in harsh environments.

Customers specifying low-circuit-count connectors for rugged harness applications in vehicles require a highly reliable, securely sealed connection system to minimize electrical failures and prevent costly machinery downtime. This system needs to withstand high temperatures and harsh environments, including exposure to chemicals, at the lowest cost. The ML-XT system meets these needs with high-performing seal technology proven to prevent ingress of fluids under extreme conditions. Advanced two-shot liquid silicone rubber (LSR) molded one-piece plug, and rear high consistency rubber (HCR) seals with cover guards guarantee optimum seal positioning at all times, including during mating and unmating of the header and receptacle. The result is a cost-competitive solution that achieves superior reliability over de-facto, industry-standard systems.
