PS3C Series

150A High-power Connector for Storage Batteries

Hirose has introduced the PS3C series to provide a space-saving, high-power connectivity solution for front cable connection for storage battery applications.

The PS3C consists of a single-position cable-mount right angle plug that can be easily assembled with screws and without special tooling. The crimp contacts are commercially available to facilitate easy field assembly. The corresponding mating half receptacle size is minimised and the low height profile is only 20mm.

The right angle plug design allows the connector to be positioned closer to the battery unit to save space. In addition the plug can be 180° reversibly mated to the receptacle to allow different cable layout options to give flexible placement options on the battery unit. An (optional) hard lock nut is available to reduce mechanical stress from the cable to the plug and prevent screw loosening.

The receptacle is simple to assemble by screwing the cable to the contact. In addition, the receptacle incorporates a unique clipping contact design with a bellows type contact to deliver the high-power. This allows multiple contact points to reliably engage with the mating blade contact on the plug, suppress contact resistance and support high current flow. Safety is assured with the finger protection design that complies to IP2X evaluated by IEC 60950 test finger to ensure the contacts can not be touched on the plug or receptacle.

PS3C is available in black or red coloured housing to prevent incorrect mating. Guide keys are provided to prevent incorrect insertion between the plus (+) and minus (-) electrode.
