New energy vehicle connectors are one of the main categories of connectors. Compared to traditional high-voltage, high-current connectors, connectors used in new energy vehicles operate under more complex and variable conditions, requiring higher reliability.
The primary function of connectors in new energy vehicles is to ensure the proper operation of the vehicle's high-voltage interconnection system. They act as a bridge in circuits where the internal pathways are blocked or isolated, allowing current to flow. The typical structure of a new energy vehicle connector consists of three main parts: auxiliary structures such as the shell and seals, insulation components, and conductive contact points. By connecting the plug housing and the socket housing, the connector achieves electrical connectivity and conduction.
High-voltage connectors are mainly used in the high-voltage, high-current circuits of new energy vehicles. They work in conjunction with conductive cables to transfer the energy from the battery pack, through various electrical circuits, to different components of the vehicle system, such as the battery pack, motor controller, DC-DC converter, charger, and other electrical units in the vehicle body.
