Connector solutions for EV and HEV applications

Product catalog summary
Overview
FCI, a global leader in connector manufacturing, addresses the challenges of the Electric Vehicle (EV) and Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) markets, focusing on high operating voltages (400V to 800V) and currents (30A to 300A). Their solutions prioritize safety, cost-effectiveness, and efficiency.
Connector Solutions
FCI provides high power connectors and charge plug solutions optimized for sealing, shielding, durability, and ergonomics. Notable products include the RCS800 and RCS890 terminals, which offer high current capacity and space efficiency. These connectors feature a patented interlock device for safety and an ErgoMate® axial mating system for user convenience.
Product Features
  • RCS800 Terminals: Designed for high current (up to 230A) and high voltage applications, featuring an 8mm round pin design for efficient space use.
  • APEX Terminals: Provide high current carrying capacity with a compact design, suitable for various automotive applications.
  • EV-PLUG-16/32A: Compliant with international standards, designed for both slow and fast charging, with thermal circuit breakers for safety.
Technical Specifications
- Voltage: 400-750V
- Current Capacity: Up to 230A
- Sealing Protection: IP67 & IPx9K
- Temperature Range: -40°C to +125°C
- Shielding Performance: 60 dB at 100 MHz
Collaborative Development
FCI collaborates with OEMs and system suppliers to develop customized solutions, adapting to diverse standards and requirements across regions, including different shielding technologies and connector designs.
Charge Plug Devices
  • Type-1 Charge Plug Device: Designed for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, supporting single-phase or three-phase power supply with a maximum charge performance of 43.5 kW (63 A/three phase).
  • Type-2 Charge Plug Device: Similar to Type-1 but with enhanced current carrying capacity up to 70 A single phase and 63 A three phase, featuring IP67 sealing and a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
Features & Benefits
Both charge plug types adhere to IEC62196-2-2 standards and include integrated thermal circuit breakers for overheating protection. They offer environmental features like salt spray protection and efficient fluid and dust draining, along with mechanical features such as bearing holes for locking and detection, with terminals designed for high mating cycles exceeding 10,000 cycles.
High Power Terminals and Connectors
  • APEX-950: Offers very high current capability (125A at 70°C) with robust mechanical strength and a temperature range of -40°C to +150°C.
  • RCS-890: Provides high voltage capability (400V - 750V) with a unique integrated interlock and CPA devices for safe mating and un-mating.
Application Tooling
Various tools are available for terminal extraction, crimping, and SWS positioning, with specific part numbers provided for each tool.
Conclusion
FCI is committed to advancing low emission vehicles by offering innovative and cost-effective high power interconnect and charge plug devices, ensuring safety, reliability, and durability.
