Loose or corroded ground connections repeatedly cause problems in commercial vehicles and mobile machines. With the Splitter C2-PE4, Würth Elektronik ICS offers an easy way to connect a wide range of ground signals at a single contact point with the vehicle chassis. Instead of complex wiring and multiple grounding points, this compact module enables all ground connections to be brought together at one location and at the same level, ensuring clean and reliable power distribution.
Corrosion, vibration, and wiring errors are the most common causes of loose and unstable ground connections in vehicles. The PCB-based splitters from Würth Elektronik ICS help reduce or even eliminate these issues. The specialist for power distribution system solutions in mobile machines and commercial vehicles focuses on reducing chassis interfaces, particularly by eliminating small screw connections and minimising splices in the wiring harness. The Splitter C2-PE4 is also an optimal solution when no metal chassis is available for ground signal collection − for example, when manufacturers of electric vehicles opt for non-metallic chassis to reduce weight.
The new Splitter C2-PE4 allows the connection of up to 70 signal lines and up to four power lines. Each pin can handle up to 15 A, and the Splitter is designed for continuous currents of up to 200A. It can be used for both GND and +BATT signal distribution. Würth Elektronik ICS also offers customised solutions tailored to the requirements of vehicle manufacturers.
With protection classes IP66 and IP69K, the Splitter C2-PE4 is designed to be extremely robust and durable. Easy installation and maintenance make this 155 × 115 × 45mm module a long-term cost-saving solution. With this PCB-based module, Würth Elektronik ICS enables the simplification of vehicle electrical systems and the reduction of wiring harnesses. At the same time, avoiding issues caused by loose or corroded ground connections increases the safety of mobile machines and commercial vehicles.
