In order to cope with the fast-growing energy transition market demanding flexible high-power capabilities, the integration of power systems and associated cable assemblies must be secure, cost-effective, and space-saving. However, high-power modules in the current range between 70A and 200A have conductors with large wire-cross sections, even up to 70mm2. These wires are often challenging to handle because the thickness reduces the bending radius and requires adequate floor space. The new…

Since harsh environmental conditions come with a variety of potential risks and in turn require more reliable solutions, Mencom offers the robust rectangular power connectors series (CX-8/0) featuring safe crimp termination. Compared to other rectangular inserts using the axial screw termination, the CX-8/0 series with crimp technology is more resistant to mechanical stresses such as vibration, shock, and strain on wire strands. When mated, the connection is sealed and gas-tight,…

When electrical applications are used in or near hazardous environments where flammable gases, vapors, flammable liquids, combustible dust, or ignitable fibers may be present, there is a potential risk of a fire or explosion.
