High current connector Amphenol RAD-08-50 optimized for utility truck electrical system requirements
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 a continuous current rating of 200A to 400A, this series incorporates the patented RADSOK technology. This innovation delivers higher amperage, lower T-rise, reduced resistance, and lower mating force. The ePower connectors offer a 40% smaller footprint compared to three EMI shielding cable glands and facilitate easier termination of shielded cable. Available in 2 or 3 power contacts, a single ePower 400A connector can replace three 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.
