Plastic Connector Series for HEV Offers Continuous Power to 400 AUPC connectors from Amphenol available in 2- and 3-pole
Sidney, N.Y. October 2015 - Amphenol Industrial Products Group, a global leader in interconnect systems, has just launched a plastic power connector series designed to be used in the hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) market. The compact universal power connector (UPC) is available in two sizes and offers continuous power with 200 A or 400 A.
Ideal for use in power converters, hybrid electric vehicles, battery management systems, heavy equipment electrification, starter generators as well as 2- and 3-phase motors, these 2- and 3-pole connectors feature a plastic shell structure, small footprint and are field installable and repairable.
Amphenol's UPC includes patented RADSOK technology for higher amperage, low voltage drop, less resistance and lower T-rise. RADSOK's twisted grid configuration allows for 50% more current to pass through the same size pin to achieve the smaller package size, while providing increased reliability, cycle durability and lower mating forces.
These new connectors are touch proof with HVIL (high voltage interlock loop) and include EMI shielding. Amphenol's UPC connectors meet an IP67 rating when in a mated condition and can withstand a minimum of 500 mating cycles.
