Battery systems are becoming essential for improving energy availability and reliability, supporting the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy across industries like rail, aerospace, and mining. However, many existing connectors were not designed for dynamic applications requiring high peak currents. Smiths Interconnect’s new single-pole high-power connectors, featuring Hypertac Green Connect™ technology, deliver up to 90% energy transfer efficiency, ensuring optimal performance in harsh conditions for heavy equipment battery systems. In this webinar we'll discuss the current market situation and what our product can offer to provide a premium performance in harsh conditions.
Overview
Battery systems are gaining traction as the answer to several challenges facing availability and reliability in today’s energy market.
Battery systems will play a crucial role in a smooth transition into electrification from an electricity system based on fossil fuels to a system based on renewable energy for rail, aerospace and defense, and mining applications.
Electrification is a mega-trend across industries, but not all connectors are application-specific designed. Many connectors in the market were originally designed for static energy storage and later adapted for dynamic applications requiring peak current.
Smiths Interconnect's new single pole high power connectors are specifically designed for battery systems in heavy equipment or harsh conditions. Equipped with Hypertac Green ConnectTM, an advanced design of the hyperboloid contact, the new high power solution offers high carrying capacity enabling up to 90% energy transfer at peak current which allows the battery to use every kWh of energy efficiently.
