You can selectively use only the specific parts and materials required for the application.

Molex Korea (CEO Jaehoon Lee) announced the launch of its µPDB custom waterproof module, which is suitable for customers looking to add or relocate power switching and circuit protection in automotive applications.

Fully customizable to meet the needs of our customers, these modules selectively use only the specific components and materials required for their applications.

This fully sealed and connected system can be mounted in multiple locations on vehicles operating in harsh environments with high vibration levels. Fully compliant with USCAR-2 specifications and IP6k7 ratings, the module has a wide operating temperature range of -40 to +125°C (-40 to +257°F), making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including passenger cars, trucks, off-road equipment, motorcycles, recreational vehicles, ATVs, snowmobiles, boats, and personal watercraft.

By mounting the relay and fuse close to the application, this product eliminates the need for long wires back to the distribution board, saving space and cost as well as avoiding potential wiring errors. This module can be placed vertically for more convenient application in areas where space is limited, such as within a vehicle.

“The transition from hard-wired auxiliary power boxes to a connector interface simplifies electrical system design, eliminates wiring errors and cuts the number of lead cuts in half,” said Rand Wilburn, global product manager for Molex. “The µPDB custom sealed module is an excellent cost-effective product solution with the industry’s smallest footprint and easiest to customize without wasting unnecessary components or space.”
