Heavy-duty connector
The connector body gives the internal assembly a durable external structure.
INSIDE THE CONNECTION.
Small details.
Long-term confidence.
A closer look at the solid-core connector construction described in the engineering catalog.

10,000+mating-cycle design5 μmsilver platingTPE + TPUprotection and flexibility
Ten parts.
One considered connection.
The value is in how the materials work together: stable contacts, insulated conductors, a rigid frame and a comfortable outer grip.
Beryllium-copper spring
The specified CuBe spring material supports repeated mechanical contact; the catalog pairs it with 5 μm silver plating.
Silicone O-ring
A sealing element helps protect the relevant mating area as part of the overall connector construction.
Crimped copper contact
A crimp connects the electrical contact to the copper conductor.
Conductor insulation
Individual conductor insulation separates the current-carrying paths.
TPU cable jacket
The outer jacket protects the cable bundle and supports flexible handling.
Solid-core TPE injection
Injected thermoplastic elastomer fills the internal construction rather than leaving a hollow shell around the assembly.
Rigid internal skeleton
An internal frame supports alignment and mechanical integrity.
Soft TPE grip
Overmolded grip surfaces make the connector comfortable to handle while adding external protection.
Premium TPU cable
The specified flexible TPU cable completes the connector assembly. Its conductor size, current and phase rating must match the charging setup.
What changes with a solid core?
| Construction choice | Practical intent |
|---|---|
| Injected TPE around the internal assembly | Reduces internal voids and supports insulation and resistance to moisture entry. |
| Rigid frame with overmolded outer protection | Helps the connector withstand everyday handling and mechanical stress. |
| Silver-plated spring contacts | Supports a stable, low-resistance electrical connection over repeated use. |
| Flexible TPU jacket and soft grip | Makes a daily cable easier to handle, especially compared with a rigid-feeling assembly. |
These are design intentions and catalog specifications, not a guarantee of zero risk, a service-life warranty or permission to drive over equipment. The catalog describes drive-over resistance and a 1,100 kg control-box test; correct everyday handling remains essential.
