I-PEX Connectors for Automotive Industry
I-PEX offers a variety of connectors that are ideal for the automotive industry. Below are some use case examples for typical automotive applications such as PCU and BMS/CMU.
What is PCU?
Power Control Unit
This is used to receive signals from vehicle and controlling IGBT module for power control.
BMS/CMU
What is BMS?
Battery Management System
What is CMU?
Cell Management Unit
This is used for measuring and monitoring battery status. Lithium-Ion batteries need to be strictly controlled – this system/unit will shut-off power transmission for any abnormal status.
The ISH® series is the best choice for these various automotive modules. I-PEX's unique spring-structured terminals provide high long-term contact reliability. The connectors also excel in high temperature resistance and vibration resistance and are available in a variety of pole numbers.
