XRC sealed plugs
Molex has announced that its XRC (Extra Rugged Circular) sealed plugs and receptacles are available in an 18-shell/14-circuit size and 24-shell/31-circuit size.
The circular connectors are suitable for heavy-duty applications such as construction equipment, marine, recreational vehicles, transportation and agricultural markets.
In addition, the 24-shell size, 31-circuit connectors have a wire seal imprinted, instead of embossed or engraved, making it easier to see and identify each circuit for faster installation and field servicing.
A backshell is also available for use with the 24-shell size products.
The backshells easily snap onto the XRC housing after terminal assembly for increased strain relief.
Designed to meet IP67 standards, the Molex XRC plugs and receptacles are protected against the ingress of dust, water and other contaminants to maintain the integrity of the mated pair.
Plugs feature a quick-disconnect bayonet latch to provide quick and easy connections with reduced installation and service time while ensuring accurate mating depth.
The XRC connector features a grommet retainer with a lip for compatibility with backshell and over-moulded applications.
A large polarising key indicator helps visual alignment to facilitate easier mating.
The crimp-and-poke technology does not require terminal alignment when installing crimped wires, while enlarged imprinting on the wire seals clearly identifies each circuit, making installation and field servicing fast and easy.
XRC plugs and receptacles are available in standard and reverse gender.
These connectors can be used for in-line or panel-mount applications.
