Charged EVs | ABB introduces range of hinged high-voltage connector backshells for heavy-duty EVs 

Cable-to-connector stability is crucial to the operation of any EV. Heavy-duty EV wiring is especially susceptible to excessive engine temperatures, pressure, abrasion, vibration, ingress and corrosion. To guard and stabilize these connections, ABB Set up Merchandise has launched a full vary of hinged high-voltage connector backshells.

ABB’s new Harnessflex EVO Connector Interfaces are a part of an entire cable safety system designed to satisfy or exceed trade requirements, shield crucial wiring, and enhance efficiency and reliability in high-voltage purposes. 

The Electrical Automobile Orange coloration of ABB’s Harnessflex EVO Connector Interfaces signifies high-voltage wiring and parts. The interfaces are designed to ship cable-to-connector pressure reduction with excessive mechanical efficiency, and to forestall particles intrusion.

“ABB is working with car makers, transportation suppliers and OEMs to combine sturdy electrical wiring options that meet evolving necessities, whereas delivering safer and dependable efficiency,” mentioned ABB Set up Merchandise EVP Andrea Castella. “Harnessflex EVO Connector Interfaces offset the necessity for costly, cumbersome cable clamps in high-voltage purposes, and broaden ABB’s electrification options for a broad vary of demanding areas of transportation, from building and agriculture to vans, buses and trains.”

“ABB’s first-of-its-kind Harnessflex EVO Connector Interfaces cut back cable motion and kind tighter junction joints for safer and safer high-voltage connections in electrical ancillaries, DC/DC converters, onboard chargers, high-voltage battery packs, hybrid techniques, hydrogen gas cell automobiles, and dynamic and static energy techniques,” notes Nathan Prepare dinner, World Enterprise Improvement Supervisor for Cable Administration Merchandise.
