Amphenol CVR 23R connector suitable for power converters and heavy equipment electrification projects
Product Overview
The Amphenol ePower Connector Series is engineered for the demanding requirements of hybrid, electric vehicles, and utility truck electrical systems. Operating at 800VDC to 1000VDC with continuous current ratings from 200A to 400A, this series incorporates the patented RADSOK technology. This innovation offers higher amperage, lower T-rise, reduced resistance, and lower mating force, outperforming similar products in the market. The ePower connectors provide a 40% smaller footprint compared to three conventional EMI shielding cable glands and facilitate easier termination of shielded cable. Each connector series covers 2 or 3 power contacts, with a single ePower 400A connector capable of replacing three conventional connectors, thereby saving space and cost. Applications span both Military Aerospace and Industrial segments, including power converters, hybrid electric vehicles, heavy equipment electrification, two and three-phase motors, and starter generators.
