TS1 Series | High Current eMobility Power Connector

eMobility, High Current, HV Connector, Shielded, Single-Pole

Description

The TS1 Series is a single-pole, high voltage, high current eMobility power connector designed for harsh-duty electrified platforms. With a rigid metal shell, 360° EMI shielding, optional HVIL, and IP6K9K/IP67/IP68 sealing, TS1 helps vehicle and equipment designers safely route high power between batteries, inverters, PDUs, DC-DC converters, pumps, and drives in demanding environments. Standardizing on this high current eMobility power connector also simplifies platform reuse across multiple programs.

Available in 8.0 mm and 12.0 mm contact sizes, the TS1 Series supports large conductor cross-sections, robust strain relief, and keyed, touch-safe interfaces for modern high voltage architectures. This makes TS1 a strong fit anywhere a compact, reliable, high current eMobility power connector is needed in eMobility, energy storage, and industrial electrification systems.

TS1 Series Overview – High Current eMobility Power Connector

The TS1 Series is a sealed, metal-shell connector platform engineered for high voltage DC systems up to 2,000 V. Its single-pole architecture supports large-gauge conductors and high current loads in a compact footprint, helping designers simplify cabling layouts while maintaining safety and serviceability. For platform engineers, TS1 provides a robust, repeatable high current eMobility power connector that can be applied across multiple vehicle and equipment programs to support common harness and service strategies.

A rigid metal housing, metal latch, and 360° EMI shielding help TS1 withstand shock and vibration while containing switching noise in traction, battery, and power conversion circuits. Optional high voltage interlock (HVIL) contacts add another layer of safety for live high voltage circuits, supporting demanding OEM functional safety targets.

Why TS1 for High Current eMobility Power

A high current eMobility power connector must survive shock, vibration, temperature cycling, and contamination while maintaining low contact resistance and stable shielding performance. TS1 was developed specifically for these conditions rather than adapted from a legacy industrial connector, giving design teams a connector family aligned with current and future eMobility requirements.

  • Harsh-environment construction: Full metal shell, metal latch, and robust sealing for electric heavy trucks, construction equipment, and marine platforms.
  • Modern HV capability: Supports the higher voltages and currents common in traction inverters, PDUs, and battery systems.
  • EMI-controlled design: 360° shielding between cable and connector body helps keep switching noise inside the power path.

System-Level Design & Safety

TS1 connectors sit at critical junctions such as battery-to-bus, bus-to-inverter, or PDU-to-motor interfaces. Thoughtful placement and configuration of this high current eMobility power connector can simplify the high voltage system and support safer, more serviceable layouts.

  • Power path placement: Use TS1 at locations where disconnection, service, or isolation is required, such as main battery terminations or removable packs.
  • Keying and polarization: Apply keying options to prevent cross-mating between circuits with different voltage levels or energy capacities.
  • Safety features: IP2X/B touch-safe interface and TS1 variants with HVIL contacts help protect qualified personnel and support safe power-down and lockout/tagout procedures.

Harness & Layout Flexibility

Harness design is often a bottleneck in electrified platforms. TS1 is meant to give harness engineers flexibility while keeping the connector family consistent across platforms and power levels, reducing redesign work as programs evolve.

  • Multiple power interfaces: 8.0 mm and 12.0 mm interfaces support a wide range of cable sizes for auxiliary and primary power connections.
  • Cable and busbar terminations: TS1 can be configured for cable-to-cable or cable-to-busbar interfaces in compact PDUs and battery terminations.
  • Segregated harness design: Keying options support separation of traction, charging, and auxiliary power circuits while reusing common components.

Typical eMobility and Industrial Applications

TS1 connectors help move high power safely across a wide range of electrified vehicle and industrial platforms where compact, shielded interfaces are required. Designers can apply the same high current eMobility power connector strategy across on-road, off-highway, marine, and stationary systems.

  • E-heavy commercial vehicles: Main battery connections, traction inverter interfaces, and high power distribution in trucks and buses.
  • Electric construction equipment: Excavators, loaders, lift platforms, and other off-highway machinery needing ruggedized high voltage connections.
  • Marine and e-boat systems: Battery-to-motor, DC bus, and power conversion links in electrified marine propulsion and auxiliary systems.
  • Energy storage systems (ESS): Pack-to-pack, pack-to-bus, and pack-to-inverter connections in stationary or mobile ESS platforms.

Design Support & Collaboration

Choosing the right high current eMobility power connector is only one part of a successful design. Proper selection of cable size, shielding strategy, mounting hardware, and mating components is just as important, and TS1 is supported by documentation and application expertise to help guide these decisions.

  • Specification-driven selection: Use the electrical, mechanical, and material tables below to match TS1 configurations to your voltage, current, temperature, and environmental requirements.
  • System-level review: Coordinate with engineering to review connector locations, derating assumptions, and EMC considerations across the powertrain or energy storage system.
  • Scalability to future programs: Once qualified, TS1 can become a standard high current eMobility power connector building block for future platforms, reducing engineering effort and time-to-market.
