ITT ICS APD 4-way High Voltage Connector series can handle up to 500VDC and 34A in same size form factor as a standard APD 4-way

ITT Interconnect Solutions has developed a high voltage connector series which can conduct ten times more VDC than standard APD interconnects. The new APD High Voltage connector can handle operating voltages of up to 500VDC and operating current of up to 34A. Cost effective and highly reliable, the APD 4-way High Voltage series suits automotive applications such as power distribution boxes, controls and junction boxes and also electric and hybrid vehicles.

Smaller and lighter than other similar interconnects currently on the market., ITT ICS’APD 4-way high voltage series has identical dimensions and layout to a standard APD 4-way connector, so the requirement for high voltage throughput is achieved with no increase in the weight or size of the end product. Increased voltage capacity has been made possible by adjusting the design of the insulator body and by improving the air and creepage distance. Impulse voltage is rated at 3.5kV and operating current up to 34A for wire size 4.0mm2 . The APD 4-way high voltage connector is bayonet mated and rated to IP67, increasing to IP69k when using individual wire sealing. Other product features include 3.5kV rated impulse voltage. ITT ICS’ APD 4-way high voltage series is fully VDE certified.

Other applications include agricultural machinery, industrial automation and robotics. Further details are available in an Applications Note downloadable from: www.ittcannon.com
