In order to cope with the fast-growing energy transition market demanding flexible high-power capabilities, the integration of power systems and associated cable assemblies must be secure, cost-effective and space-saving. However, high-power modules in the current range between 70A and 200A have conductors with large wire-cross sections — sometimes up to 70 mm2. These wires are often challenging to handle because the thickness reduces the bending radius and requires adequate floor space.

Mencom Corp. seeks to remedy this issue with its new connector module. The new MIXO is a right-angled high-current rectangular connector module (CX-01YA) designed to minimize space installation requirements with a compact 90° connection that removes bending of large diameter wires (up to 70 mm2) and promotes reliable 200A rating performance. The main feature of this new module is the special insulating cover plate that works to not only reduce accidental contact between cable lugs on adjacent modules but also save the nominal voltage rating of 1000V planned for the 200A modules. It does this while also connecting the DIN 46235 pre-insulated crimp cable lugs, according to the company.

These 200A right-angled modules with the screw termination are compatible with the standard bulkhead mounting housings. They also can be used to extend a busbar connection or to power control cabinets, HVAC systems and batteries for energy storage backup applications.
