A step forward in robust vehicle technology
Plug-in connectors instead of cable lugs on the power relay
Power relays are essential components in vehicle electrical systems. The connection technology plays a decisive role in operational safety. The conventional cable lug, long established as the standard, is gradually reaching its limits. The solution is modern plug-in connectors.
Plug-in connectors offer a defined contact force and minimise contact resistance. Unlike cable lugs, which can lose their connection due to vibrations or corrosion, plug-in connectors guarantee a permanent stable electrical connection - even under extreme conditions.
Another advantage is the mechanical locking mechanism. It prevents unintentional loosening caused by vibrations occurring in the daily use of tractors, forage harvesters, excavators or wheel loaders. The locking mechanism increases operational safety and reduces maintenance costs.
Pre-assembled connectors simplify installation considerably. They reduce sources of error during installation and save valuable time – an important factor in series production or during repairs in the field.
Coded housing moulds virtually eliminate incorrect connections. This protects electronic components from damage and increases safety during servicing.
IP-protected connectors defy mud, rain and dust - indispensable for construction machinery that is often used in extreme environments. Cable lugs, on the other hand, offer hardly any protection against moisture and corrosion.
The use of plug-in connectors on power relays is a clear step towards durable, low-maintenance and safe vehicle technology. These modern connection solutions are becoming increasingly popular, especially in the construction machinery sector, where failures can be expensive and dangerous.
