3. Key Features & Benefits
-
High Efficiency Terminals: All power pins are crafted from a high-conductivity silver-plated alloy, ensuring that even during long 32A three-phase sessions, the terminal temperature remains well within safety limits.
-
Integrated Thermal Monitoring (Optional): Supports the addition of NTC or PT1000 sensors to provide real-time thermal data to the vehicle’s BMS, preventing overheating.
-
Superior Material Quality: The housing is constructed from UL94 V-0 flame-retardant thermoplastic, offering high impact resistance and UV protection for outdoor installation.
-
Flexible Mounting: Designed for both front and rear-panel mounting, making it adaptable to various vehicle inlet flaps or charging station enclosures.
-
Anti-Tamper Locking: Compatible with standard H-bridge locking motors, ensuring the cable is securely locked during the charging session to prevent theft or accidental disconnection.
