Molex unveils weatherproof connection system

Molex has introduced the Mini-Fit H2O weatherproof, compact connection system designed for wire-to-wire applications of up to nine per circuit.

The Mini-Fit H2O connector system is IP67 rated, which ensures connector integrity when submersed in up to 1m of water.

The product range consists of plug and receptacle assemblies and male and female crimp terminals.

The plug and receptacle assemblies are equipped with pre-installed interface and wire seals, providing engineers with a lower applied cost compared to connectors with manually installed seals.

'The Mini-Fit H2O's pre-installed seals provide a superior water- and dust-tight connection, and reduce installer assembly time,' said Tom Orton, product manager, Molex.

The compact size of the Mini-Fit H2O make it suitable for tight-space applications such as those found in automotive, lighting systems and medical devices.

The terminals have a 'wingless' design that will not damage seals upon installation or removal.

Terminals will accept both 18 and 20 AWG, UL 1015 wires.

Other features include a positive-locking system to ensure the connectors are securely mated and prevent accidental unmating, and UV-stabilised materials that allow the products to be exposed to direct sunlight.
