A growing diversity of devices including data center servers, EV charging stations and home energy storage systems require high-current and high-voltage connectors. Yet the physical space within these devices remains limited, and these connectors must effectively mitigate contact resistance, voltage drop and thermal effects.
To meet requirements for safe, high-voltage transfer, Molex offers a comprehensive portfolio of connectors that feature COEUR socket technology. These sockets incorporate advanced design features to minimize contact resistance and improve current-carrying capacity without producing excessive heat. This is achieved through careful engineering and material selection to maximize the overall efficiency of the connection.
COEUR sockets include Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) to keep the connection securely in place. This feature is especially important in environments where connectors are subject to vibrations or other mechanical stresses. The multi-pin attachment remains intact and reliable over time.
Molex connectors with COEUR sockets are also designed to withstand various environmental conditions, making them suitable for outdoor use or in harsh industrial environments. They comply with industry standards, including EIA-364 which assesses criteria such as mating and un-mating force, humidity resistance, durability and thermal cycling.
