High-Current Cabling System meets Energy Storage Needs

August 06, 2015 by Jeff Shepard

Amphenol Industrial Products Group now offers SurLok Plus, a high-current cabling system designed to meet the needs of energy storage for commercial and residential battery storage systems as well as electric and hybrid electric vehicles. Amphenol's new high-current cabling system comes in an unsealed configuration or IP67-rated, which offers excellent environmental sealing to protect the system from the elements.

Used by inverter and power supply manufacturers, SurLok Plus is optimized for battery pack connections from 50A to 400A using a touch-safe interface. Featuring a flexible design to accommodate dimensional constraints, this low profile, right angle RADSOK pin and socket connector is very space efficient.

The patented RADSOK contact technology used in SurLok Plus significantly increases amperage, while reducing insertion force, temperature rise and voltage drop. RADSOK contacts provide a large contact area, while utilizing the tensile strength properties of the flat, high conductivity alloy grid for the high normal forces required for conductivity. SurLok Plus delivery is 4-6 weeks ARO.
