20A High Voltage Interlock Connectors for Electric Vehicles

The HVIL connector is used in a variety of applications and is considered to be one of the most reliable connectors available. It has a long history of use in automotive applications and has been used in EV charging stations since their inception. The design features a high level of current density, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications.
HVIL connectors are used on all major EV platforms including Tesla, Nissan LEAF, BMW i3 and Chevrolet Bolt.
The HVIL connector consists of two parts: an insulating body and an electrode assembly. The electrode assembly is attached to the body by means of a screw or nut. Each electrode assembly contains three pins, which are designed to carry high current loads. This makes the connector suitable for electric vehicles that require high levels of power transfer from charging stations.

The connector is designed to withstand extreme temperatures, ranging from -40°C to 85°C (-40°F to 185°F). It also has excellent resistance against corrosion due to its zinc die cast body and nickel plating on contact surfaces.
The design features a high level of current density, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications. This makes it ideal for use as an interlock connector between a vehicle and an electric vehicle charging station. The HVIL has also been used in other heavy duty applications such as power tools, industrial equipment and construction equipment.

The HVIL is designed with safety features that protect against overvoltage conditions and short circuiting that can occur during a fault condition or electrical surge event. These safety features include:

A latch mechanism that keeps the connectors locked into position until sufficient torque is applied;

An interlocking feature that prevents accidental disconnection; and

A locking pin that prevents accidental separation of two connectors when they are plugged together. Guchen Electronic is the top high voltage connector manufacturers.
