Amphenol RAD08 35 Connector Designed for High Current Applications in Military and Electric Vehicles
Product Overview
The Amphenol ePower Connector Series is engineered for the demanding electrical system requirements of hybrid and electric vehicles, as well as utility trucks. Operating at 800VDC to 1000VDC with a continuous current rating of 200A to 400A, this series leverages the patented RADSOK technology. This innovation provides higher amperage, reduced T-rise, lower resistance, and mating force, offering superior performance compared to similar market products. The ePower connectors feature a 40% smaller footprint than three EMI shielding cable glands and simplify termination with shielded cable. Designed for harsh environments, the series supports 2 or 3 power contacts and can replace multiple conventional connectors, saving 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.
