Amphenol Industrial ePower Connector Series

This series of connectors is designed for the demanding requirements of hybrid, electric vehicles, and utility truck electrical systems, operating at 800VDC to 1000VDC with a 200A to 400A continuous current rating. The product incorporates the patented RADSOK®® technology for higher amperage, lower T-rise, less resistance and mating force. Meantime, it offers a 40% smaller footprint than three EMI shielding cable glands and easier operation of termination with shielded cable by a washer compressing the shield to the inside surface of the shell. The connector series covers 2 or 3 power contacts. As an example, one ePower 400A connector can replace three conventional connectors, saving space and cost.

RADSOK’S twisted grid configuration allows for 50% more current to pass through the same size pin, while providing increased reliability, ampacity and cycle durability as well as lower insertion force, T-rise and voltage drop.
