19753-0030 Datasheet, PDF (1/2 Pages) Molex Electronics Ltd. – MLX™ Pin and Socket Ground Block System

FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS
Mass-terminate and easily trouble-shoot multiple electrical ground wires using the industry
standard MLX Ground Block System
The new MLX Ground Block System is designed to
centralize electrical ground wiring in most recreational
vehicles and boats. These non-automotive vehicles
have extensive 12V wiring systems which require a
central ground point. Until now an easy grounding
solution has not existed.
Instead of using multiple ring terminals that are
grounded at multiple locations, 12 gauge wires and
under-wires are connected using the 15-position MLX
Ground Block System. The Ground Block System is also
designed to accommodate larger gauge wires by
simply using ring terminals with the provided 3/8”
studs.
The MLX Ground Block System is designed for use with
Molex’s MLX Pin and Socket Power Connector System,
as well as being a drop-in replacement with
competitors’ 2.13mm (.084”) products.
