The automotive industry is on the verge edge of a technological revolution. Driven by a range of environmental, economic and regulatory factors, a new generation of mass market, low emission, electric (EV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) will emerge, bringing with them a host of engineering challenges. These include the development of high power connectors. Such connectors will have to address issues such as high current levels, electromagnetic shielding, and exceptional standards of safety whilst minimising weight, size and cost. As a world leader in automotive interconnection technology, FCI is at the forefront of efforts to create innovative connectors that meet the demands of this market.

FCI has unveiled several innovative high power connector solutions developed to meet the booming demand for high performance but cost effective high power interconnections. Building on FCI Motorized Vehicles in-depth expertise in the automotive sector, the new RCS800 and APEX 280 high power connector ranges incorporate ground-breaking features that reflect the unique challenges presented by EV and HEV applications.
