ECM5554-112 Connectors

This section is for the Visteon built ECM5554-112 controller using the Molex CMC product line

Connector Change (Matte versus Gel)

Back in 2008 Molex decided to only promote the matte seal parts for all new designs. This decision was made due to the suppier performance of the matte seal versus the gel seal. However, customers that were using the gel seal parts can continue to do so. Molex will continue to support both the gel and matte seal versions in the future. The bottom line is that if your customers want to continue using the gel seal version and square MOX terminals they can continue to do so.

Does the ECM5554-112 Connector System require plugs on unused pins?

The Woodward supplied connector kit does not include nor require any plugs. The old connecting system, the Gel seal, did not require plugs. The new system, the Matte, does require the plugs.

Environmental Rating

IPx9k rating and 500 mbar. This applies for only the Matte seal, not the gel.

MotoHawk Connector Kits

The current Woodward connect kit, part number ASM-CON-042, uses the Gel Seal. Mercury Marine and Woodward have not converted to the Matte seal.
