PublishTime： 2021-06-13 Article Source：HF Smiths

The HeavyPower Connectors are part of the Smiths Interconnect Transformer range, a comprehensive series of high-density, modular connectors for all onboard power applications within the rail market. The Transformer's modularity enables customers to design their own solution by supplying the elementary components of the whole connector. It employs a unique do-it-yourself system based on the building block principle. The connectors are suitable for any applications requiring the transmission of very high currents such as power distribution, winter coaches, and bogies. There is also a version available that connects the motors of the bogies.

●Value Proposition

■ Modularity with easy kitting devices offers a cost-saving on the total cost of ownership

■ Flexible solution with several crimp section of cable per contact size offering cost saving with standardization of contact size and limitation of crimping tools

■ Coding devices to allow side by side installation

■ Integrating anti-swing accessories to avoid extra fixing cables devices on the gangway

■ Long life cycle with Tortac® power contact derived from hyperboloid technology

■ Robust and complete cable harness/jumpers shielded and non-shielded solutions increasing reliability and SIL4 applications

■ Reduced maintenance costs and easy retrofit operation with removable and interchangeable modules and contacts

■The connector is equipped with a cable gland (strain relief) to protect the cable and the connectors from the mechanical and environmental hazards

■ It has been tested up to 1 Million swaying cycles to simulate the gangway environment

■ Compliant with the main rail standards (EN 45545 and NF F 61-030)

●Features & Benefits

■ Customer Configurable Architecture
