Charging connectors for track mowers

• Application: Track Mower
• Industry: Machinery Manufacturing
• Country: Germany

• A manufacturer of track mowers was looking for a high power connector to charge the lithium-ion battery.
• High current carrying capacity and minimal contact heating were important requirements in order to optimize the current flow and increase the lifespan of the battery.
• The company wanted a connector, which is compact in size but has durable, robust housing components, which reliably withstand rough everyday use.

The customer relies on the Schaltbau LV80/120 connector because it has:

• High-quality, solid power contacts for a permanently high
  current carrying capacity
• Integrated locking against shock and vibration, strain relief and
  contact locking
• Up to 4 signal contacts for monitoring the charging process
  via CAN / Bus communication
• Mechanical durability > 5,000 cycles for multishift operations
  and daily charging
• Flammability and fire protection
• Temperature resistance from –30 °C up to +130 °C.
