ValuSeal wire-to-wire connector system for effective protection
Molex is introducing the ValuSeal Wire-to-Wire Connector System to provide cost-effective, reliable sealed performance. The IP65-rated, integrated wire-and-ring seal system is capable of 11.0A power, suitable for consumer, non-automotive transportation and lighting applications.
Michael Gonzalez, global product manager, Molex says: "Many OEMs find IP67-rated connectors too expensive, so they select unsealed connectors which can lead to product malfunctions and failures in harsh, wet environments. This innovative one-piece design provides a sealed connection at an extremely economical price, enabling OEMs to lower TCO while increasing product quality and reliability."
The ValuSeal Wire-to-Wire Connector System features built-in seals moulded into the connector, protecting against water and dust ingress. Crimp-and-poke insertion simplifies wire assembly for added cost efficiency, and the integrated wire strain-relief in the connector body prevents leak-paths often found in other connector systems.
The compact 4.00mm pitch offers design flexibility in limited space environments. The 2-circuit connector is currently available, and a 4-circuit version will follow by mid-2017.
