Plug-in connector’s slim design suits ESS storage batteries

Expanding its plug-in connector series, Hirose has introduced slim design devices for ESS (Energy Storage System) batteries, UPS and industrial machinery. The PS3 series is available in power only and signal/power hybrid versions, with the power contacts supporting up to 150A and the signal contacts supporting up to 1A.

A highly reliable clip design with bellows contacts, the power contact structure features multiple contact points to reduce contact resistance and allow high current carrying capability. A unique blade contact that supports mounting to a standard 1U rack enables a slim design.

Eliminating on-site cable wiring and reducing exposure to electrical lines, the connector’s plug-and-play design reduces maintenance time. Worker safety is also enhanced by finger protection during assembly that meets IP2X requirements. Floating mounting screws adjust for misalignment during mating in X and Y directions up to ±2.0mm in order to facilitate a quick and easy plug-in connection.

Operating over temperature range from -40 to +105°C, the PS3 series is available with two power contacts and up to 24 signal contacts. The slim design connector has a power and signal rated voltages of 1000 and 250V, 0.3m and 60mΩ power and signal rated contact resistances and a minimum insulation resistance of 5000MΩ at 250VDC.
