Features and Benefits
Selecting reliable, high-performance interconnects for EV auxiliary and high-current power distribution systems is a crucial step for manufacturers. To enable use across multiple platforms, these connectors must optimize weight, operate safely and dependably in challenging automotive conditions, and meet global standards for performance.
Using a connector design validated to global automotive standards ensures safe and reliable service, reduces testing and certification cycles, and simplifies design work. Localized manufacturing options help lessen supply chain risks and enable gradual changeover to new alternatives. Connectors optimized to be compact, scalable and easily integrated help manufacturers upgrade the capabilities of current industry-standard connectors while minimizing engineering costs.
The eHV connection system developed by Molex delivers improved performance in a lightweight package that is purpose-built for auxiliary to high-current power distribution in EVs and hybrid vehicles. Solutions such as the eV60 Class 3 auxiliary connector are fully intermateable with the current interface standard, offering a second-source drop-in replacement option. Available IP6K9K sealing, electromagnetic interference (EMI)-resistant shielding and high-voltage interlock loop (HVIL) features improve safety and reliability, minimizing maintenance costs and extending the product lifespan. The eHV60 connector complies with stringent USCAR2 and LV215 standards, accelerating testing and validation cycles for use across multiple platforms and regions.
