Connector System suits high voltage/EMC shielding applications.
Press Release Summary:
Based on 4.0 mm pin and socket terminal system, 2-position HVA 400 wire-to-wire, sealed, in-line plug and cap connector system handles high voltage and EMC shielding applications for alternative powered systems. Temperature class rating is -40C° to 125C° (underhood), and wire size ranges from 3-6 mm². The 4 mm terminal is capable of carrying 33 amps (continuous) at 125 C° on 3 mm² wire and nominal voltage rating is 300 Vdc (550 V max). HVA 400 connector is touch safe.
Original Press Release:
New High Voltage & EMC Shielding Inline Connector for Alternative Powered Systems (APS)
9 Dec 08
Tyco Electronics has developed a 2-position HVA 400 plug and cap inline connector system that is designed specifically for handling high voltage and EMC shielding applications for alternative powered systems (APS).
The new wire-to-wire, sealed connector system is based on a 4.0mm pin and socket terminal system and a robust and scalable compact package occupying approximately 111x41x50mm (LxWxH for an 8-position connector). The temperature class rating is -40C° to 125C° (underhood); wire size ranges from 3.0mm² to 6.0mm². The 4.0mm terminal is capable of carrying 33 amps (continuous) @ 125C° on 3mm2 wire and the nominal voltage rating is 300Vdc (550V max).
The connector is uniquely designed to accommodate an optional High Voltage Interlock (HVIL) integrated into the system. The optional HVIL minimizes the risk of exposed live terminals or destructive arcing. Due to its flexible design, the connector is capable of employing multiple low-voltage terminals (depending upon OEM preference) or as a standalone high voltage connector.
The Tyco Electronics 2-position HVA 400 connector is "touch safe" and is designed and built in accordance to USCAR-2 (on-engine vibration profile), ingress protection class (DIN 40-050 or IEC 60529), IP6K9K (mated), IP2B (unmated) AIAG, QS9000 and is RoHS ready.
