Description

A sealed power connector for EV platforms must do more than carry current. In electrified vehicles and high-voltage mobile equipment, the connector also needs to maintain reliable performance under vibration, environmental exposure, and demanding power loads while supporting compact system design. The ePower Series is developed for these conditions, providing a rugged rectangular interconnect solution for hybrid and electric vehicle systems that require high-current capability, environmental protection, and dependable mechanical performance.

Built for High-Voltage Electrified Vehicle Systems

As vehicle electrification expands across buses, trucks, heavy equipment, and other next-generation platforms, engineers need a sealed power connector for EV architectures that can support both electrical performance and packaging efficiency. The ePower Series is designed for hybrid and electric vehicle applications operating in demanding environments, with configurations supporting 500 – 1000V AC/DC and current capability from 200A to 700A depending on design. That combination makes ePower a strong fit for OEMs building converters, starter generators, and other high-voltage subsystems across electrified transportation platforms.

RADSOK® Technology Supports High Current Performance

A key advantage of the ePower platform is its use of RADSOK® contact technology, which helps increase current carrying capability while reducing contact resistance and mating force. This is especially valuable in vehicle electrification systems where connector reliability, efficient power transfer, and long-term durability all matter. For designers seeking a sealed power connector for EV use, this contact technology supports robust electrical performance in applications where traditional approaches may require bulkier packaging or multiple connector interfaces.

Sealed and Shielded for Harsh Operating Conditions

Electrified vehicles often operate in environments where water, dust, vibration, and temperature swings can compromise connection integrity. The ePower Series addresses those challenges with IP67 environmental protection, integrated EMI shielding, and vibration-resistant construction. Available HVIL capability further supports high-voltage system design requirements, making the series well suited for applications where safety, signal integrity, and environmental durability are all important. This helps position ePower as a sealed power connector for EV systems that need to perform reliably in both on-road and off-road conditions.

Designed to Help Reduce Space and Simplify Integration

Packaging space is always a concern in electric and hybrid vehicle design. The ePower Series helps address that challenge with a compact rectangular format and modular configurations that support two- and three-pole power layouts. Depending on the version selected, the series supports crimp, lug, or busbar termination options, giving engineers flexibility when integrating the connector into different system architectures. In applications where multiple traditional power connections may otherwise be required, ePower can help streamline layout while maintaining high-current capability as a sealed power connector for EV platforms.

Well Suited for EV, Hybrid, and Heavy Equipment Electrification

The ePower Series is engineered for a wide range of electrification applications, including hybrid electric vehicles, utility trucks, buses, heavy equipment electrification, power converters, and multi-phase motor systems. This versatility makes it a practical solution for manufacturers looking for a sealed power connector for EV and industrial transportation platforms where rugged performance and efficient power transfer are required. With its combination of high-current RADSOK® contacts, EMI shielding, HVIL support, and environmental sealing, ePower is designed to help support the next generation of vehicle electrification systems as a sealed power connector for EV applications. For applications that require a more compact related solution, explore ePower-Lite Mini.
