FAQs
Q1: What is the maximum current this connector can handle?
The maximum current capacity of this 3 pin connector depends directly on the wire gauge used. It is rated for 40A with a 6mm2 cable, 32A with a 4mm2 cable, and 20A with a 2.5mm2 cable. Using the correct cable size is crucial for ensuring safe operation and preventing overheating at the connection point. The dedicated signal pin is rated for 2A.
Q2: What do the safety features like HVIL and Poka-Yoke do?
These are critical safety systems for high-voltage applications.
- HVIL (High-Voltage Interlock): This is a secondary circuit that ensures the high-voltage power is disconnected before the main contacts can be separated. This feature on our EV connector prevents electrical arcs and protects users from potential shock during mating and unmating.
- Poka-Yoke: This is a mechanical keying feature that makes it physically impossible to mate the connector incorrectly. It ensures a proper and secure alignment every time, protecting the connector and your equipment from damage.
Q3: Is this connector truly waterproof and suitable for outdoor use?
Absolutely. This waterproof connector is rigorously tested to meet IP67 and IP6K9K standards. This means it is fully protected against dust ingress (IP6X) and can withstand being submerged in water up to 1 meter (IPX7) as well as high-pressure, high-temperature water jets (IPX9K). This makes it exceptionally durable for use in harsh environments and all-weather conditions.
Q4: What is the purpose of the 360° shielding?
In modern electric vehicles and industrial systems, electromagnetic interference (EMI) can disrupt sensitive electronic controls and data signals. The full 360° shielding on this 3-pole electrical connector provides a continuous, uninterrupted conductive path to ground, effectively blocking EMI. This ensures signal integrity and reliable performance of your entire system.
Q5: What makes this a "touch-proof" connector?
This connector is designed to the IPXXB standard, which is a specific safety rating for protection against finger contact. It ensures that even when the connector is unmated, the internal high-voltage contacts are recessed and shrouded, making it impossible for a person's finger to accidentally touch any live electrical parts.
Q6: Can this high-voltage connector be used in extreme temperatures?
Yes. It is constructed with high-grade, temperature-resistant materials and is designed to operate reliably across a very wide temperature range, from -40°C to +125°C (-40°F to +257°F). This ensures stable and safe performance whether you are operating in freezing winter conditions or in high-heat engine bay environments.
