Amphenol Industrial Ultimate Power Connectors (UPC) for EVs & HEVs
Amphenol Industrial Ultimate Power Connectors (UPC) are a series of plastic power connectors designed for electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid EVs (HEVs). These 2- and 3-pole connectors incorporate RADSOK® technology for higher amperage, lower T-rise and voltage drop, and less resistance. RADSOK's twisted grid configuration allows for up to 50% more current to pass through the same-sized pin. The configuration of the Amphenol UPC connectors also provides increased reliability and cycle durability as well as lower mating forces. The compact, plastic shell structure is lightweight with a small footprint. The robust structure features continuous power at 250A or 400A with a field-installable and repairable design.
