Amphenol PCD CHD Series High-Voltage Right-Angle Plug (Key A)

This is a heavy-duty, single-pole High-Voltage (HV) Right-Angle 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 connector is engineered to safely transmit high continuous currents while providing superior 360-degree EMI/RFI shielding. It features a right-angle (90-degree) cable entry, an integrated mechanical latching system with a secondary red 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 Right-Angle Plug Connector Manufacturer: Amphenol PCD Series / Part Reference: CHD Series / Stamped "CHD 10 08 1" Keying Code: Stamped "KEY A" Material: Die-cast metal alloy housing, thermoplastic internal insulators, red silicone seals Configuration: Single-Pole (High Current) Hardware Included: Main right-angle connector housing assembly with integrated internal shielding spring fingers, latching mechanism, 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 high-power inverter and battery routing. 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 red release tab (often part of a High Voltage Interlock Loop or HVIL design) to prevent accidental disconnection under load and ensure secure mating. Right-Angle (90-Degree) Profile – The low-profile right-angle design allows for clean, tight-clearance cable routing in cramped engine bays, battery boxes, or dense industrial power cabinets. 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
