Overview


Automotive manufacturers need electrical connectors capable of maintaining secure and reliable connectivity in environments subject to high vibration, temperature extremes and moisture. These connectors must offer design flexibility while meeting stringent industry standards and should optimize assembly operations by simplifying tasks and reducing the chances of errors.

With robust, reliable and versatile automotive-grade connectors, manufacturers can improve production efficiencies by using a single interconnect solution to meet a variety of application needs. Durable and high-performance connectors can improve system performance and ensure regulatory compliance for essential automotive applications. Supporting simpler and easier assembly operations accelerates production processes and minimizes errors, reducing costs and ensuring proper system operation.

The USCAR-compliant MX64 Connector meets automotive standards and ensures compatibility with a variety of international wire sizes and terminal systems, enhancing design flexibility. The design mates with an interface molded into the module, simplifying assembly, while built-in features help prevent mis-mating and accelerate assembly operations. MX64 Connectors are IP67 rated to withstand water and dust ingress, and they offer positive locking to prevent accidental disconnections. The MX64 system is tested to USCAR-2 Rev. 4 standard, demonstrating its reliability.

Simple and Error-Resistant Assembly

The hand-mated MX64 Connector is designed for mating with an interface molded into the module or device, accelerating assembly operations and minimizing errors. The audible click confirms a proper connection, while multiple color-coded polarization options help prevent mis-mating and assembly errors.
