The production volume of electric vehicles significantly increased during recent years. Up to now original vehicle connectors were predominantly used for component testing. Due to the increased volume it becomes necessary to use now adaptations with an increased lifetime of several thousand connection cycles.
Adapters used in this environment will have to reliably contact without wear and degradation. Additionally the contacts will have to reliably carry currents of several hundred amperes.
These applications also require a long-life contacts with low force or contact free insertion mechanisms to further reduce the adapter wear.
Off-the-shelf flat or round contact pins cannot be contacted with standard test probes, because they do not offer the necessary contact area and accessibility.
Therefore friction-free insertable adapters that only fully engage the electrical contacts in fully inserted position are necessary.
In cooperation with our clients adaptronic has developed multiple proven solutions to provide long-lasting, reliable connectors for high volume / high current testing.
