High-voltage connectors withstand strong vibrations in EVs and HEVs

TE Connectivity

Robust IPT-HD high-voltage power bolt connectors from TE Connectivity handle extreme temperatures, and offer various IP rating options for use in harsh industrial environments and commercial vehicles

Featuring a new shielding design, easy mounting holes, and flexible assembly connectivity, TE Connectivity’s (TE) new IPT-HD high-voltage power bolt connectors meet the need for highly vibration-resistant connections in hybrid-electric (HEVs) and electric vehicles (EVs). Key applications within the vehicle include electric motors, e-axles, motor control units and power control units. 

 

The 360° shielded IPT-HD connectors maintain low contact resistance, even after vibration, and can be used in environments exposed to extreme temperatures.  

 

Offering flexible assembly options for a wide range of applications, the IPT-HD power bolt connector supports three options for the conductor cross-section: 50 mm2, 70 mm2 or 95 mm2 

 

In addition to the traditional integral wiring harness assembly and an easy machining process for mounting holes, the IPT-HD connector provides a separate, single wiring harness for increased assembly flexibility. 

Features

  • One, two, or three positions 
  • Operating-temperature range: -40°C to 125°C 
  • 1,000 V voltage rating  
  • Current-ratings range: 250 A to 400 A at 85°C

  • IP rating options: IP67, IP68, IP6K9K 

Applications

  • Buses 
  • Trucks 
  • Agricultural vehicles 
  • Construction vehicles 
  • Passenger vehicles
