48 Volt Connectors

Safe and Reliable Connector Systems for
48V Electrical Architectures

SAME POWER WITH LESS COPPER

Automakers are increasingly building 48V electrical architectures to take advantage of key benefits, including more efficient power delivery, and weight and mass reductions.

Today’s vehicles are full of high-current devices requiring heavy and expensive copper wiring — making the move to 48V architectures a natural evolution. Increasing the supply voltage reduces the current, so wiring can be downsized. By adopting 48V, designs can be protected for up to 60V in the case of an overvoltage.

48V Advantages

Why switch to 48V now?

Reduces current by a factor of four to deliver the same power to a device
Enables weight and package size reductions
Increases power delivery efficiency
Stays below 60V limit to protect from shock hazard
