ZE150HV 초소형 고전압 커넥터

EV/HEV powertrains face the technical challenge of safely connecting hundreds to thousands of volts in a small space. Existing connectors are bulky to ensure high-voltage clearance, and there is a risk of short circuits due to vibration or accidental contact. In such environments, insufficient connector size and durability lead to safety issues.

Supporting a world-class 1000V, the connector size is minimized by reducing the terminal spacing with a patent-pending rib design. In addition, the 3-point contact structure of the terminal is double-sprung to increase stability so that the connection is maintained even with vibration.

The robust housing and built-in Connector Position Assurance (CPA) prevent assembly errors, reducing the risk of electrical leakage due to human error. Made of materials that withstand heat and contamination, it can operate up to 125°C. In summary, the design maximizes high-voltage safety in a compact size, which is a key differentiator compared to existing high-voltage connectors.

B2B: Automotive and electric vehicle manufacturers and parts suppliers. Customers include finished vehicle manufacturers' EV/HEV platforms and module manufacturers that design and produce them. (Demand is expected to increase in countries with policies to expand the adoption of electric vehicles.)

Applicable to the global EV market. Designed in accordance with international IEC standards (AC, pollution degree, etc.) and manufactured for use in various industrial environments.

However, it is necessary to obtain certification for national electrical safety regulations (UL, IEC, etc.), and the voltage range or temperature range may vary depending on the product version. In the future, it can be expanded to high-voltage power connectors in general, such as connectors for batteries/chargers.

The CES Mobility Award recognizes its technical excellence. The technology readiness level is just before launch, and mass production is scheduled to begin in March 2026.

Expectations are high due to the increasing demand for high-voltage automotive parts, but actual market success depends on the speed of electric vehicle adoption and manufacturer adoption. Currently,"Verification stage before launch"It can be seen as being in the final stages of development.
