EVolution EMC is ideal for the protected


feedthrough of high- voltage cables


HIGH-VOLTAGE CONNECTORS


A newly developed cable connection system for electrically powered commercial vehicles and mobile machinery


combines the benefi ts of a normal high-quality cable gland with the ease of installation of a “pluggable” connector


A


s safety-relevant components, EMC- protective cable glands for use in the high-voltage


vehicle electrical systems of mobile machinery and commercial vehicles must be able to withstand heavy mechanical loading and demanding thermal eff ects. To meet this need, the Swiss cable gland specialist AGRO has

developed the EVolution EMC cable gland – an innovative connection system ensuring all-around cable shielding for the e-mobility sector. The focus during the development


process was on achieving fi rmly secured 360° shielding, in just a few assembly steps, for long-lasting EMC protection. In accomplishing this, the product had to be designed to


meet the various needs of vehicle and component manufacturers and of cable assembly companies. Furthermore, the industry’s particular needs in relation to shielding and cable glanding had to be reconciled with the current standards for electric vehicles, which are based on “plugged” connections. The innovative combination of “pluggable” solution
