Power Connections

Connectors

Eaton’s electrical connectors, which are designed to create an electrical connection between parts of an electrical circuit, or between different electrical circuits anywhere within vehicles. This is especially important in electric vehicles (EVs), where we provide increased affordability, efficiency and safety in power distribution. Connectors use an improved “male/female” connection, which provides a stronger pairing between the “male” protrusion section and the “female” cavity, improving overall reliability and power flow. 

 

Our injection-molded connectors ensure high-current flow throughout the service life of a vehicle, which improves customer satisfaction by providing superior, long-time performance. Made in our state-of-the-art facilities, our high-current electrical connectors are designed for performance and longevity.

A component that allows the transfer of electrical current while insulating the circuits from vibration, heat, water and most importantly the customer from electrical shock.

Connectors are given a male/female designation contingent on how they are paired, or "mated." The female connectors are typically a receptacle and can also be called a "jack" or "socket.” The male connector, also called a "plug,” fits inside the female connector.

Connectors simplify installation and save time in production lines.

They enable efficient troubleshooting and reduce repair costs.

Connectors allow scalability and customization without extensive rewiring.

Corrosion and vibration-resistant connectors ensure reliable connections in challenging environments.

spacer
Connectors are used to connect one or more electrical circuits together. They facilitate power transmission and communication between electrical components in a vehicle. They allow the vehicle's large harnesses to be split into multiple smaller harnesses that improve assembly, quality and ergonomics in the vehicle assembly plant.
spacer
Ensure they are properly aligned, securely fastened, and meet the performance requirements to ensure a reliable and safe connection throughout the life of the vehicle.
spacer
Yes, if the sealing performance is marginal, it allows moisture to enter the metal contacts and corrode. This will lead to reduced electrical conductivity and malfunctions. Ensuring the selection of the highest reliability materials at appropriate cost levels ensure this does not occur.
spacer
Yes, if a substandard electrical connector is chosen, the terminals will create failures modes ranging from nuisance "check engine lights" to total vehicle shut down.
spacer
Yes. While their primary functionary is to establish a secure physical and electrical connection, they facilitate the transfer of electrical current by connecting electrical elements.
