Description

Reliable High-Voltage Interconnect Performance

Sealed power connector for EV systems are a critical component in ensuring reliable, safe, and high-performance power delivery in next-generation electric vehicle platforms. Amphenol Industrial Operations’ ePower Series is purpose-built to meet this demand, offering high-voltage, high-current connectors in a sealed, compact design suitable for harsh automotive and transportation environments.

The ePower Series is engineered for hybrid and electric vehicle applications, including heavy equipment, trucks, buses, and other electrified platforms requiring ruggedized interconnects. Designed to handle voltages from 800 V to 1,500 V and current ratings up to 500 A, these modular connectors deliver exceptional electrical performance while maintaining ingress protection and mechanical durability.

Sealed for Harsh Operating Conditions

To meet the environmental demands of automotive and industrial EV platforms, the ePower Series offers IP67 and IP6K9K sealing when mated, protecting against water, dust, and other contaminants. The connectors are vibration-resistant and designed to operate across a wide temperature range, supporting long-term reliability in both on-road and off-road electrified systems.

Compact, Modular, and Easy to Install

The ePower Series features a compact, lightweight form factor that simplifies packaging in space-constrained environments. The modular design allows users to configure pole counts, contact sizes, and additional features based on system needs. Termination is achieved via crimp contacts and a simple, user-friendly locking mechanism that ensures secure mating. This allows fast installation and serviceability in OEM production lines or maintenance operations.

Versatile Configurations for EV System Design

Engineered for design flexibility, the ePower Series supports cable sizes from 35 mm² to 120 mm² and offers versions with and without shielding depending on application needs. With straight and right-angle options, as well as customizable keying and color coding, engineers can easily integrate the connectors into complex EV architectures without risk of misconnection.

Tested to Meet Rigorous Standards

All ePower Series products are tested to stringent automotive and industrial requirements. They meet ECE R100 and ISO 16750 standards and are UL 94 V-0 rated for flammability. Their performance has been validated through mechanical shock, vibration, temperature cycling, and electrical endurance testing. This makes the series a trusted solution for demanding EV applications.

Applications Across Electrified Platforms

The ePower Series is designed for use in:

  • Battery electric vehicles (BEVs)
  • Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs)
  • Plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs)
  • Construction and agricultural EVs
  • Mining vehicles
  • Mass transit buses and rail systems
  • Marine and stationary electrification systems

Built for OEMs, Integrators, and Tier 1 Suppliers

Amphenol’s ePower connectors are widely adopted by global OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers across the electrification market. With proven field performance and a robust supply chain, these sealed power connector for EV platforms support high-volume production while maintaining consistent quality and reliability.
