Robust Amphenol RAD-11-75 connector designed to optimize space and cost in electric vehicle designs
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 leverages the patented RADSOK technology. This innovation delivers higher amperage, reduced T-rise, lower resistance, and mating force. The ePower connectors offer a 40% smaller footprint compared to traditional solutions and simplify termination with shielded cable. Available in 2 or 3 power contact configurations, a single ePower 400A connector can replace up to three conventional connectors, optimizing space and cost. Key application areas include power converters, hybrid electric vehicles, heavy equipment electrification, two and three-phase motors, and starter generators across Military Aerospace and Industrial segments.
