PRC40 Connector 3 POS Receptacle with Integral Plug

The PRC Series 40A Connector is a specialized component designed to enhance the performance of various auxiliary systems in electric vehicles. Below are the key features that make it an essential choice for EV manufacturers:

◆ 3 Positions Receptacle Design: This connector features a 3-position receptacle, ensuring secure and efficient connections for auxiliary systems within electric vehicles. It is designed to manage the demands of these systems, maintaining reliability and stability in high-voltage environments.

◆ Integral Plug Design: The integral plug design is perfect for multi-core high-voltage wires, making it easy to install and minimizing the risk of errors. This is particularly beneficial in auxiliary systems where space and reliability are critical.

◆ Versatile Connector Options: The PRC Series offers not only a 3-position connector but also 2-position and 4-position options. This versatility allows EV manufacturers to choose the most appropriate configuration for specific auxiliary applications, such as PDUs, DC-DC converters, PTC heaters, and electric compressors.

◆ Optimized for High Voltage and Current: With a rated current of 40A and voltage options of 1000VDC or 1500VDC, the PRC Series connectors are well-suited for the auxiliary electrical systems in EVs. The 1500VDC option is particularly useful for systems operating at altitudes below 3000m, ensuring consistent performance in diverse environments.

◆ Cable Compatibility: These connectors support cable cross-sections of 2.5mm², 4mm², and 6mm², providing flexibility in their use across various auxiliary systems within electric vehicles. This compatibility ensures that the connectors can handle the varying demands of different components, from low-power to higher-power systems.

◆ Safety-Enhancing Key Position Options: The PRC Series connectors feature three key positions—X, Y, and U—to prevent misconnection. This feature is critical for ensuring that the connectors are correctly aligned, which is essential for the safe operation of auxiliary systems.

◆ HVIL Functionality: High Voltage Interlock Loop (HVIL) functionality is available as an option with the PRC Series connectors. This feature is a critical safety mechanism in EV systems, preventing accidental disconnection of live circuits. For applications that do not require HVIL, a version without it is also available, allowing manufacturers to tailor their connectors to the specific safety needs of their systems.
