High current rating Amphenol CVR-42R connector designed for heavy equipment electrification projects
Product Overview
The Amphenol ePower Connector Series is engineered for the rigorous demands of hybrid, electric vehicles, and utility truck electrical systems. Operating at 800VDC to 1000VDC with continuous current ratings from 200A to 400A, these connectors feature the patented RADSOK technology. This innovation provides higher amperage capacity, reduced T-rise, lower resistance, and mating force. The ePower series offers a 40% smaller footprint compared to three conventional EMI shielding cable glands and simplifies termination with shielded cable. Available in 2 or 3 power contact configurations, a single ePower connector can replace multiple conventional connectors, leading to significant space and cost savings. 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.
