New online source for electric vehicle connectors


provide innovative field proven power connectors which meet global standards and are suitable for national electric vehicle architectures. Three categories of products will be available immediately; Type 1 Connectors - SAE J1772 ergonomic pistol grip style connectors for level 1 use rated at 16A and level 2 use rated at 32A - 70A. All versions are IP54 rated. The mating socket is available in 16A, 32A and 63A versions and offers low contact resistance. Both plug and socket meet SAE/UL certification. Meeting the requirements of IEC 62196


ecarconnectors Type 2 connectors also feature an IP54 rated ergonomic pistol grip style plug available in level 1 16A and level 2 32A-70A versions. It has an Insulated terminal design, is CE certified and meets TUV certification. The matching socket is available in 16A, 32A and 63A versions, has a spring loaded locking flap, low contact resistance and TUV certification. Both Type 1 and Type 2 connectors are “run-


over” proof impact resistant, offer 10,000+ mating cycles and have a cable strain relief feature as standard. Cable assemblies are available for all Type 1


With growing interest and investment in electric vehicles and support infrastructure a new specialist website for charging connectors and cables for electric vehicles has gone live. ecarconnectors has been designed to provide developers with a convenient single source of products specific to the electric vehicle market including domestic chargers and public charging stations. Products have been carefully sourced to


and Type 2 connectors offering plug to plug and plug to socket 5M cables as standard with custom options for cable length, type and colour available on request. Completing the ecarconnectors range is a


commercial vehicle charging connector. Rated from 125A to 400A the connector is suitable for high current quick charge use, offers CAN BUS connections and has a matching panel mounted, stainless steel socket for 125/250/ 400A systems.

Range of relay interface modules offers output circuit protection feature


Finder has introduced a new family of ultra-slim relay interface modules that provides both a low- cost and space-saving solution for a wide range of industrial applications. The 39 Series MasterINTERFACE range incorporates a replaceable fuse for output circuit protection, plus busbars and terminals that have substantially simplified input and output wiring. Housed in a compact 6.2mm wide package, the 39 Series offers integral coil protection circuitry across the gamut, as well as a secure retention and ejection clip, and terminal screws suitable for blade and crosshead screwdrivers. Five dedicated module types are offered, designed to meet the specific requirements for basic, enhanced, input, output and timer interface functions. Available with electromechanical or solid state


relays for general interfacing applications, the MasterBASIC features common link supply terminal positions, allowing the use of a 16-way jumper link. The enhanced MasterPLUS module adds the option of a quick connection replaceable output fuse and special leakage current suppression versions to mitigate any detrimental effects caused by residual current in the input circuit. Both the MasterINPUT and MasterOUTPUT incorporate additional busbar jumper links and terminals necessary for the full connection of 2- or 3-wire input devices and output devices respectively, thus reducing component cost, time and panel space. The MasterTIMER is a multi-function and multi-range device with DIP-switch selection of 4 time scales and 8 functions, with timer delay adjustment achieved via an easy-to-access rotary knob on the top surface of the module.


A range of accessories is available to support the 39 Series relay interface modules, including red, blue and black 16-way jumper links, and


dual purpose separators (1.8mm or 6.2mm) for the visual or protective separation of groups of interfaces operating from different supply voltages, or for the protection of cut ends of jumper links. The MasterADAPTER permits the easy connection of A1/A2 terminals of up to 8 MasterINTERFACE modules to PLC outputs via a 14-way ribbon cable, plus simple 2-wire power supply connection, providing significant wiring savings.
