SW1 Connectors
Power efficiency is critical to cost and safety management in the power intensive applications within energy storage systems. SW1 receptacles incorporate Molex’s proven COEUR socket, which with its multiple contact beams creates a large contact surface at the mating interface, resulting in low contact resistance and voltage drop which leads to minimal heat generation.
Dense electronic packaging demands a low mated height between a cable assembly and its printed circuit board or busbar. SW1 receptacle assemblies are about 1/3rd lower in height and 1/3rd shorter in length than comparable solutions using hyperbolic sockets. The z-axis mating configuration is designed to eliminate cable bend radius complications, making it an ideal solution for applications where space is constrained.
Identifying high-current, high-voltage interconnect that can attach to either printed circuit boards or busbars, accepts a wide range of wire gauges, and provides easy cable assembly management is a challenge. SW1 offers locking pins that can attach to either printed circuit boards or busbars. The SW1 receptacle assemblies accept wire gauges ranging form 2 AWG to 4/0 AWG. SW1’s unique positive locking design allows cable assembly to rotate freely about the locking pin axis after mating, simplifying cable assembly dressing.
Features and Benefits
Low Contact Resistance
The COEUR conical socket’s multiple contact beams offers low contact resistance and low voltage drop so there is minimal heat generation at the contact interface which results in higher current-carrying capacity compared to other contact designs.
Compact Design
The COEUR socket design enables mated interconnects that are lower in height, with a shorter length and narrower width than comparable solutions using hyperbolic sockets, while offering significant design flexibility in applications where space is limited.
User-friendly Positive Locking
The unique quick connect and pinch-to-release design helps ensure secure mating during system integration and helps prevent cable assemblies from later backing off pins due to shock, vibration or mishandling. It also eliminates the need for mounting hardware and reduces installation time and routine maintenance costs.
Positive Locking with 360° Cable Assembly Rotation
The stainless-steel spring clip latches onto a groove in the locking pin, allowing the cable assembly 360° rotation about the pin for easy cable assembly dressing during system integration.
