MLX™ Pin and Socket
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.

Features and Benefits
■ 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
■ Two, 3/8” studs incorporated to terminate large
gauge wires facilitate the grounding of 8 AWG wires
and above to a central point
■ Tin-plated Copper or Stainless Steel ground bar
provides option to select Stainless Steel for use in a
more corrosive environment
■ Central ground-point for electrical systems allows
easy trouble-shooting
■ Facilitates off-line harnessing providing efficient
manufacturing
Mass-terminate and easily trouble-shoot multiple electrical ground wires using the industry
standard MLX Ground Block System
