Weatherproof Molex Compact Connector Sets

Sixteen Pole

A sealed polystyrene plastic housing protects connectors from weather. All come assembled with wire leads already installed so they can be quickly added to existing wiring systems. Each set includes one male plug and one female socket. A locking tab keeps them securely in place when mated.

Build-Your-Own Latching Connectors

Configure a connector for your application—combine male and female inserts with a base and a hood. Select components based on the number of poles needed. To protect connections while maintaining access, the base and hood latch together securely, yet can be quickly detached for equipment repair or replacement. Once assembled, these connectors are rated NEMA 4X, 12, and IP65 for protection against corrosion, washdowns, dirt, oil/coolant dripping, and water projected from a nozzle.

Latching Connectors

Protect connections while maintaining access. The base and hood latch together securely yet can be quickly detached for equipment repair or replacement.

Latching connectors with one latching lever quickly disconnect with one hand. Connectors with two latching levers don’t need as much room to unlatch as connectors with one latching lever and are best for tight spaces.

Latching connectors with cord grips secure cable and protect it from strain. Choose connectors with two cord grips to create a disconnection point on curved or compact equipment that cannot have a panel cutout.

NEMA 4X rated connectors protect against washdowns. NEMA 12 rated connectors resist oil/coolant dripping. IP65 rated connectors protect against dust and rinsing. IP66 rated connectors protect against washdowns.

Harsh Environment Latching Connectors

With Two Latching Levers

Rated NEMA 4X, 12, and IP65, connectors protect against corrosion, washdowns, oil/coolant dripping, and water projected from a nozzle. They have a rubber seal and stainless steel hardware for excellent chemical resistance. Use them to protect connections while maintaining access. The base and hood latch together securely, yet can be quickly detached for equipment repair or replacement.

Use these connectors with servomotor, servocontrollers, and servodrives in automated equipment and assembly lines. Rated NEMA 4X, IP67, and IP69K, they resist corrosion and protect against high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns. When mating connectors, the gender, housing thread location, and pole layout must be opposite. Poles are numbered on the face of the connector.

Signal connectors communicate between servocontrollers, servodrives, and servomotors.
