Heavy-duty connector
The connector body gives the internal assembly a durable external structure.
INSIDE THE CONNECTION.
A closer look at the solid-core connector construction described in the engineering catalog.
A CLOSER LOOK / SOLID-CORE CONSTRUCTION
Swipe across the diagram to read each annotation. The numbered details continue below.
The value is in how the materials work together: stable contacts, insulated conductors, a rigid frame and a comfortable outer grip.
The connector body gives the internal assembly a durable external structure.
The specified CuBe spring material supports repeated mechanical contact; the catalog pairs it with 5 μm silver plating.
A sealing element helps protect the relevant mating area as part of the overall connector construction.
A crimp connects the electrical contact to the copper conductor.
Individual conductor insulation separates the current-carrying paths.
The outer jacket protects the cable bundle and supports flexible handling.
Injected thermoplastic elastomer fills the internal construction rather than leaving a hollow shell around the assembly.
An internal frame supports alignment and mechanical integrity.
Overmolded grip surfaces make the connector comfortable to handle while adding external protection.
The specified flexible TPU cable completes the connector assembly. Its conductor size, current and phase rating must match the charging setup.
| 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.
