Pre-assembled connectors

Whether it is for charging stations of modern li-ion battery-powered forklift fleets or for switchgear cabinets of power stations and substations – with Schaltbau Connectors you will keep close connection to the major OEMs of standardised hybrid cables for the transmission of power as well as binary data and signals. You can get the proven rugged Schaltbau connectors for industrial applications in pre-assembled sets. Just as you need it: with flexible standard cable, with special connection cable or however you like it, ready assembled – all from one source.

Plug & play storage systems for traction batteries of today’s forklift fleets consist of three parts: software-supported charger, battery and a charging plug as offered by Schaltbau, complete with special adapters for electrolyte circulation and automatic water top up systems. An optional pilot contact is available for use with charge control, thus assuring safe charge termination even if the plug is pulled prematurely. It also reduces contact wear and protects the user from electric shock.
Schaltbau charging connectors are available for use with charging stations in the power range of 1 kW up to 16 kW and for volt- ages ranging from 250 VAC to 400 VAC – preassembled with cables of different lengths and terminal lugs.

LV for faster charging

• Pre-assembled weld cables with sizes up to 4/0 AWG
• Cable lugs and terminal lugs with sleeves, such as the ones from Flex or Perfect, specially designed for use with batteries
• Optional snap-on adapter suitable for holding up to 4 additional signal contacts. With them it is easy to establish the Bus/CAN connection needed for the charging management of modern li-ion batteries
• Fast charging capacity up to 500 A
• High-quality screw-machine power contacts
• Adapters for use with electrolyte circulation and water top up systems
• Optional pilot and auxiliary contacts

Extension or refurbishment of switchgear for medium voltage transformers usually results in more wiring also, because more signals, for instance, have to be added to the signal cabinet. And here the rugged G Series industry connectors from Schaltbau come in handy, because with layouts ranging from 4 pole up to 32+PE, the connector series offers all the flexibility which is needed to fit the purpose.
Schaltbau Connections now makes it possible that energy supply companies order as a set the connectors pre-assembled with just the kind of cables, lengths and terminal ends they need. The direct benefit is a reduced wiring effort and no acceptance testing at the end of it.
