New Products High-Voltage Connector The electric vehicles (EV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) market expansion is expected due to environmental consciousness and emission regulations. We have advanced the development of EV-related products since the first half of the 90s and the wiring harness using high-voltage connector FHVC Mark I was released to market in 2009. Following Mark I, FHVC Mark II is released, which is superior in cost, size, weight, and can be easily assembled. Feature 1. The number of components has been reduced by 25%. Also, the length has been reduced by 15%. The product secures a shielding effectiveness of 40dB required for EV (Refer to Fig. 2 and Fig 3.) 2. LIF (Low Insertion Force) lever enables easy insertion and secession. Also, the double lock structure ensures the connection. 3. The waterproof performance is more than 98kPa. Application example • Three-phase AC supply from the inverter to the motor. • DC supply from the battery to the inverter. • Car internal charging cables. *FHVC-Mark I remains as listed product.
