Connectors meet hybrid/e-vehicle challenges

The Imperium high-voltage/high-current (HVHC) connector system is designed to deliver reliable performance in the extreme shock and vibration conditions found in today’s commercial hybrid/electric vehicles. The connectors can handle up to 1,000 V and 250.0 A per contact with superior shielding performance. Available in 8.00 and 11.00-mm diameter versions, a variety of configurations are in development for future release that will help meet customer-specific applications.

The HVHC system features an integrated MX150™ high-voltage interlock loop (HVIL) crimp terminal that helps eliminate high-voltage arcing during disconnect for operator safety. The closed-loop 360-degree shield design with grounding tabs provides EMI and RFI mitigation while the header face shield simplifies grounding for manufacturers. The one-piece contacts (in plug and receptacle) reduce resistance for lower power loss and the protective, insulated plug and receptacle contact caps meet touch-proof industry safety requirements. The connectors are also rated IP6K9K while mated to provide protection from fluids in harsh environments.
