LV Series

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides an in-depth analysis of Schaltbau's LV series high power charging connectors, specifically designed for DC applications. These connectors are engineered to handle high current with minimal self-heating and low contact resistance, thereby extending their service life.
Specifications: The connectors comply with EN 1175 and DIN VDE 0623-589 standards, supporting active energy and battery management. They are modular, allowing customization with additional pilot contacts and adapters for air or demineralized water flow during charging.
Applications: These connectors are ideal for e-mobility applications such as sweepers, golf carts, and buses, as well as intralogistics applications like forklifts and AGVs. They are compatible with various chargers and battery systems, including lithium-ion and wet-cell batteries.
Key Features:
  • Strain Relief: Provides reliable cable retention.
  • Coding: Ensures safety with unique voltage and battery type coding.
  • Interlock: Features a secure plug-in connection with an integrated locking device.
  • Arc Prevention: Incorporates LMFB and HVIL to prevent electric arcs during connection and disconnection.
  • Modularity: Offers scalable solutions and compatibility with existing standards.
Mechanical Safety: The connectors are robust, featuring integrated locking against shock and vibration, strain relief, and contact locking to withstand rough use.
Material Properties: Constructed from high-quality materials resistant to acids, flammability, and temperature variations ranging from -30°C to +130°C.
Product Variants: Various models are detailed (LV80/120, LV160/250, LV320/400, LV500) with different current capacities and configurations tailored for specific battery types and applications.
Ordering and Configuration: Includes a keying system for voltage and user coding, with options for pilot contacts, auxiliary contacts, and various handle types. Tools for assembly and disassembly are also listed.
Components:
  • Air Adapter and Spacer: Included in the basic set.
  • Battery Socket: Configurations available for pilot contacts and with air tube.
  • Keying Options: Available in multiple colors for various battery types.
Tools:
  • Crimping Tools: Hydraulic and electrical options for main contacts, with crimp inserts for various wire sizes.
  • Extraction Tools: For pilot and auxiliary contacts.
Procedures: Installation and maintenance instructions emphasize the importance of qualified personnel handling electrical equipment. Proper use of connectors, ensuring strain relief, and adherence to IEC standards are advised. Regular visual inspections and safety checks are recommended.
Norms and Standards: The connectors comply with IEC 61984 and IEC 60352-2 standards, focusing on solderless connections and ensuring connectors are not engaged or disengaged under load, as per UL 1977.
Recommendations: For safety, use connectors with protective caps when not in use, avoid forceful engagement, and replace damaged parts with original components. Inverse-polarity protection and the use of pilot contact adapters are emphasized.
Key Data from Figures and Tables: Dimension diagrams and derating curves for various connector models illustrate their current carrying capacities and ambient temperature effects. Detailed mating diagrams for charger/vehicle plugs and battery sockets are provided.
Safety Instructions: Disconnecting connectors under load is prohibited unless in emergencies. The document highlights the risks of electrical shock and the necessity of adhering to national safety regulations and technical rules.
Company Information: Schaltbau GmbH is a global leader in electrification technology, specializing in contactors, connectors, switches, and electrical devices, with a focus on safety and reliability in DC applications.

LV Series-2

LV series – high power charging connectors Schaltbau charging connectors – More power for faster charging. Modern charging connectors with a new optimised main contact system: The solid power contacts can carry high currents with minimal self-heating, have extremely low contact resistance and noticeably reduced contact forces for a significantly longer service life. Schaltbau devices and charging connectors meet the requirements of EN 1175 and DIN VDE 0623-589 for high current carrying capacity*. They enable active energy and battery management that optimises the current flow and increase lifespan...

LV Series-3

Features High-quality, solid power contacts for a permanently high current carrying capacity Schaltbau's new optimised main contacts ensure a permanently high current-carrying capacity and minimal contact heating. These properties are achieved through very low contact resistances in the mated contact system over the entire service life. Thanks to reduced contact forces in the main contact system, there is less wear during mating and unmating. This extends the service life and also noticeably improves the ergonomics when mating and unmating. Mechanical safety in rough everyday use Schaltbau charging...

LV Series-4

Keying system – Voltage and user coding Keying to DIN VDE 0623-589 Coding pins ensure clear and reliable coding of battery voltage and battery type. The position of the coloured coding pin is used for correct voltage assignment. A total of 6 voltages can be coded. The colour and shape of the coding pin also enable the battery type to be clearly assigned. This ensures that only valid combinations can be plugged in. For example, the socket of a lithium-ion battery can only be connected to the plug of a charger station for lithium-ion batteries or dry batteries. User coding: Section through a plugged-in...
