TE Connectivity PowerTube Connectors
TE Connectivity's (TE) PowerTube Connectors are designed for high-power applications in hybrid and electric industrial and commercial vehicles. These connectors are built for handling large electrical loads, up to 580A continuous current, depending on wire size and temperature, and 1000V. The PowerTube connectors can also handle multiple wire sizes, between 35mm2 to 150mm2. Manufactured with scalability and modularity in mind, the PowerTube header is available in 180° or 90° orientations and up to 3 positions per connector. A refined circular design simplifies cable routing and connector assembly. TE PowerTube Connectors provide reliable, safe connectivity thanks to IP6K9K dust and water ingress protection, Connector Position Assurance (CPA), a robust design to withstand engine-level vibration, and High Voltage Interlock Loop (HVIL) safety features in each pin.Features
- Modular and scalable
- Up to 3 pins in one header connector
- Large cable range
- 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 (48V) and shielded (high voltage) systems can be serviced with the same connector system
- Circular connector design enables simplified routing
- Decreases complexity of assembly and reduced number of components
- Single connector design enables improved serviceability in the field
- IP6K9K protection and ISO 16750-3 profile vibration performance
- CPA and HVIL for each pin
- Circular 360° shielding for EMI protection
