Amphenol Industrial ePower-Lite Mini X Connectors

Introduction

Amphenol Industrial ePower-Lite Mini X connectors are compact, two-position high-voltage power connectors for electrified systems where installation space is limited. They combine high-voltage capability, environmental protection, and optional safety features in a small connector platform.

Part Description

The ePower-Lite Mini X is designed for high-voltage DC power connections in demanding mobile and industrial applications. It supports operating voltages up to 1000 VDC.

Depending on conductor size, the connector can carry:

• Up to 25 A with 2.5 mm² wire
• Up to 35 A with 4 mm² wire

Its two-position configuration is suitable for positive and negative DC power lines. Optional high-voltage interlock loop (HVIL) functionality can support system safety monitoring, while optional EMI shielding helps reduce electromagnetic interference in electrically noisy environments.

The connector series also includes touch-safe protection to reduce the risk of accidental contact with energized terminals. With IP67 and IP6K9K sealing capabilities, ePower-Lite Mini X connectors are suited to equipment exposed to dust, water immersion, high-pressure washdown, and harsh outdoor conditions.
