Compact and Amphenol RAD-11-50 connectors replacing multiple conventional connectors in power applications
Product Overview
The Amphenol ePower Connector Series is engineered for the demanding electrical systems of hybrid electric vehicles and utility trucks, operating at high voltages of 800VDC to 1000VDC with continuous current ratings from 200A to 400A. Leveraging the patented RADSOK technology, these connectors offer superior performance with higher amperage, reduced T-rise, lower resistance, and improved mating force. The series provides a 40% smaller footprint compared to conventional solutions like three EMI shielding cable glands, simplifying termination with shielded cable. Available in 2 or 3 power contact configurations, a single ePower connector can replace multiple conventional connectors, optimizing space and cost. Applications span Military Aerospace and Industrial segments, including power converters, hybrid electric vehicles, heavy equipment electrification, two and three phase motors, and starter generators.
