 The new IP67-rated ePower 400A connectors are rated to 1,000-volts DC and feature integrated EMI shielding. The ePower family of connectors is specifically designed to meet the demanding needs of modern electrification programs in high voltage and high amperage applications, such as power converters, hybrid electric vehicles, heavy equipment electrification, two- and three-phase motors and starter generators in the military, aerospace and industrial markets.
The connector series incorporates Amphenol's patented RADSOK contact system to achieve higher current ratings, as well as to lower temperature rise and contact resistance, as compared to other contact methods, in a compact, lightweight package. RADSOK technology, an electrical terminal based on a hyperbolic grid configuration, enables lower insertion forces than standard contacts for easier mating .
Because it delivers more power in less space, the RADSOK contact system eliminates having to run wires through bulky cable glands in traditional three-phase motor assemblies and similar equipment to deliver power. The result is a more reliable,user-friendly connection with a 40% smaller footprint to reduce the overall enclosure size, while simplifying maintenance issues. One ePower connector can replace three conventional connectors, saving both space and cost.
Amphenol's ePower connectors come in two- and three-pin power configurations ranging from 100 amps through 500 amps per contact and have the capacity for two small gauge signal contacts for HVIL (high voltage interlock loop) purposes. The IP2Xstyle sockets are available in crimp, lug or bus bar termination. Cable plugs have IP2X style crimp pins and can accommodate shielded wires. Multiple wire sizes from 50 mm(2) to 95 mm(2) can be used with the new connectors, which feature an all-aluminum shell, strain relief for the jacketed cable incorporated into the shell and excellent vibration resistance.
