Plastic shell power connector Amphenol UPCP013ALS2 designed for space constrained hybrid electric vehicle applications
Amphenol Industrial Operations UPC Series Connectors
Product Overview
The Amphenol UPC (Ultimate Power Connector) series is a line of plastic power connectors engineered for demanding applications in the hybrid electric vehicle and heavy equipment markets. These connectors leverage patented RADSOK technology, offering superior current carrying capacity, reduced temperature rise, lower voltage drop, and decreased resistance. The unique twisted grid configuration of RADSOK contacts allows for up to 50% more current through the same pin size, enhancing reliability, cycle durability, and lowering mating forces. Designed with a compact, lightweight plastic shell and a small footprint, the UPC series is ideal for space-constrained environments. Available in 9.1mm and 14.0mm contact sizes, these connectors are field installable and repairable, making them a robust choice for EV and Hybrid applications.
