HVS modular connectors assemble without tooling
Tyco Electronics is introducing a new interface for industrial and rolling stock applications that offers remarkable flexibility. With the new HVS highly variable connector system, end users can choose among over 25 different connector modules and quickly and easily mount or dismount up to six single or three double modules into a solid metal frame without the need for tooling. In most applications the new connector module system reduces the number of interfaces required because customers can build their own connector interface system specifically for their needs. The high flexibility offers 'near unlimited' use.
A wide range of connector modules for the HVS connector system is available, covering standard applications and high-voltage (up to 3000V nominal voltage), high nominal current (up to 250A), pneumatic and high-density, with up to 25 poles per module available. Modules can take cables up to 120mm² with machined or stamped crimp contacts as well as spring-type terminals. Connection with RJ45 (coax, twisted-pair and fieldbus standards), USB and firewire contacts is also possible. Furthermore, Tyco Electronics supplies a contact for high-speed applications (up to 1GHz).
Populated HVS connectors can easily be mounted into all standard industrial heavy-duty connector enclosures from Tyco Electronics. The devices feature a ground contact that is die cast with the frame and they are pluggable into competitors' products.
