Amphenol Industrial ePower-Lite Plastic Power Connectors

The ePower-Lite plastic power connectors are designed for the hybrid and electric vehicle markets and feature a lightweight plastic shell and compact design to save both weight and space in vehicle architecture. They comprise a medium-amperage connection system rated to up to 120 A of continuous current and have an operating voltage of 1000 VDC. These plastic power connectors offer two-, three-, and four-pole systems with optional High-Voltage Interlock Loop (HVIL) and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) shielding for safety and performance. Amphenol’s ePower-Lite connector series is built to meet the demanding needs of medium-voltage and medium-amperage applications. It incorporates 3.6mm terminals with Amphenol’s patented RADSOK technology to achieve higher current ratings, lower insertion forces and lower temperature rise and contact resistance. And with low insertion force, the connectors require no mechanical assistance devices for mating and unmating. The touch-proof ePower-Lite connectors are RoHS compliant and can be mated a minimum of 100 times for charging, accessory power, or any applications that require a sealed medium-power connector. The connectors have a UL 94V-0 flammability rating, an IP67 rating when mated, and an operating temperature range of -40 to 125 degrees Celsius, making them suitable for automotive, power converter, heavy equipment, two- and three-phase motors, and other power applications.
