PowerTube Connector Series

TE Connectivity’s (TE) PowerTube connector series is the right choice for high-power applications in hybrid and electric industrial and commercial vehicles. It is built to handle large electrical loads up to 580 A continuous current and 1,000 V and is available in multiple wire sizes between 35 mm² to 150 mm². These modular and scalable connectors are manufactured to adapt to specific designs and hold up to intense environmental demands.

Benefits

• Performs in harsh environments with IP6K9K rating and ISO 16750-3 profile vibration performance
• Additional connection security is provided by connector position assurance (CPA) and high-voltage interlock loop (HVIL) for each pin
• Circular 360° shielding provides excellent EMI protection
• The cube-shaped bus bar enables multiple screw orientations for easier tool access
• Both 180° and 90° headers use the same size interface on the aggregate
• Unshielded (48 V) and shielded (high-voltage) systems can be serviced with the same connector system
• Modular design helps reduce inventory cost
• Circular connector design enables simplified routing
• Decreases complexity of assembly and reduced number of components
• Single connector design enables improved serviceability in the field
