Compact High-Voltage Connectors with KOSTAL VibraVault and Optional Temperature Sensor

KOSTAL Kontakt Systeme is expanding its high-voltage portfolio with the KS 21 and KS 16.5 connector systems. The KS 21 is designed for copper and aluminum cables with cross-sections of 50 to 95 mm² and currents of up to 400 A at 85 °C, while the KS 16.5 covers cross-sections of 16 to 50 mm². The product family is suitable for electric powertrains and other high-voltage applications and combines numerous innovations:

• Higher vibration stability and robustness through the newly developed KOSTAL VibraVault
• Robust wire harness processing and protection of the spring/lamella system through the switched terminal design
• Capability for automated processing for efficient industrial processes
• Improved ergonomics through the Overhead Mounting Solution
• Repair Solution for easy and safe replacement in the event of servicing
• Easy to integrate temperature sensor, enabling more precise design of the high-voltage system and thus helping to save weight and costs
