Amphenol PCD CHD Series High-Voltage Straight Plug

This is a heavy-duty, single-pole High-Voltage (HV) Straight Connector manufactured by Amphenol PCD, part of their CHD series designed for demanding electric vehicle (EV) and industrial applications. Built with a robust die-cast metal housing, this inline connector is engineered to safely transmit high continuous currents while providing superior 360-degree EMI/RFI shielding. It features a straight (linear) cable entry, an integrated mechanical latching system with a secondary orange locking tab, and thick silicone gaskets for severe environment protection.

Key Specifications

• Category: Automotive & Industrial Parts / EV High Voltage Components / Connectors

• Product Type: High-Voltage Straight Plug Connector

• Manufacturer: Amphenol PCD

• Series / Part Reference: CHD Series / Stamped "CHD 10 06 1" (Also shows "CHD 10 08 1 / KEY A" on specific housing variations)

• Material: Die-cast metal alloy housing, thermoplastic internal insulators, red silicone seals

• Configuration: Single-Pole (High Current)

• Hardware Included: Main straight connector housing assembly with integrated internal shielding spring fingers, mechanical latching mechanism (gray/orange), and primary red environmental seal (Internal crimp contacts/lugs and specific cable glands are not included).

Key Features

• Advanced EMI/RFI Shielding – The solid metal die-cast housing combined with the internal metallic spring fingers ensures complete 360-degree electromagnetic interference shielding, which is critical for isolating high-power inverter and battery noise.

• Robust Environmental Sealing – Equipped with a thick, ribbed red silicone gasket that seals the mating interface against moisture, dust, and debris, typically achieving IP67/IP69K ratings when fully mated.

• Integrated Safety Latch – Features a secure mechanical latching system with a secondary orange release tab (often part of a High Voltage Interlock Loop or HVIL design) to prevent accidental disconnection under load and ensure secure mating.

• Straight (Inline) Profile – The straight design allows for direct, linear cable routing, perfect for applications where cables need to run parallel to the mating surface or drop straight into a high-voltage distribution box.

Ideal For:

• Electric Vehicle (EV) and Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) high-voltage battery packs

• Heavy-duty electric commercial vehicles, buses, and marine propulsion systems

• High-power charging infrastructures and energy storage systems (ESS)

• Industrial motor controllers and high-current inverter setups

Note: Shipping charges are not included and will be calculated separately based on the quantity, weight, and destination of the selected product(s).
