2.13mm (.084") Diameter
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
19753
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.
15-Position Ground Block System
Features and Benefits
I Uses industry standard 2.13mm (.084”) connector
system which is compatible with Molex’s MLX Power
Connector System and competitor’s 2.13mm (.084”)
product
I Tin-plated Copper or Stainless Steel ground bar
provides option to select Stainless Steel for use in a
more corrosive environment
I Central ground-point for electrical systems allows
easy trouble-shooting
I Two, 3/8” studs incorporated to terminate large
gauge wires facilitate the grounding of 8 AWG wires I Facilitates off-line harnessing providing efficient
and above to a central point
