Radlok
The Radlok connector from Amphenol enables fast and secure connection of any power distribution and storage system thanks to its special locking system.
It is ideal for applications that require a reliable, easy-to-install, robust and cost-effective solution.
Six different sizes enable the transmission of currents of up to 500 A at an ambient temperature of 80°C, with a rated voltage of 1,000 V and an IP40 protection class when mated.
Standard crimp terminals, as well as screw and busbar versions, offer flexibility and eliminate the need for special tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
HVIL, or High Voltage Interlock, is a safety feature of hybrid and all-electric vehicles that protects people during the assembly, repair, maintenance and use of a vehicle. The HVIL system is designed to protect anyone who may come into contact with high-voltage components throughout the lifecycle of an electric vehicle.
HVIL acts as a type of circuit breaker that sends a warning or error message to the driver if a high-voltage connection becomes loose, disconnected or damaged while the vehicle is in operation. HVIL also helps to protect the driver and occupants of a vehicle in the event of an accident. It is possible to order Amphenol Tuchel Industrial's EV connectors with or without HVIL.
Mechanical coding of connectors is a method of ensuring that connectors can only be connected to each other in a specific way. This is particularly important in applications where there are several connectors with different functions or connections in order to avoid mix-ups or incorrect connections.
The advantages of mechanical coding are manifold. It reduces the risk of misconnections, minimizes the likelihood of damage to equipment due to incorrect connections and improves overall system reliability. At Amphenol Tuchel Industrial, the EV connectors (except the MSD series) are mechanically keyed.
