Connectors for EV and PHEV Battery Systems

In recent years, electric vehicles (EV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) have become increasingly popular in the automotive sector. These new vehicle models require strong battery management systems (BMS) to monitor the conditions of battery cells, in order to bring out full potential of the battery component. JAE offers a wide variety of connectors required for BMS applications. Below you can find a full lineup of our BMS connector solutions.

Trends in EV/PHEV Market and Connectors for Battery Systems

The demand for electric vehicles (EV) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV) has been increasing rapidly around the world in response to stricter environmental regulationsto prevent air pollution. EV/PHEV are equipped with a large number of battery cells, and in order to maximize battery performance, a battery management system (BMS) is essential to constantly monitor the status of the battery cells. There are various requirements on the connectors used in BMS, such as smaller size and lower height. JAE offers a wide variety of connectors that meet theserequirements.
The following sections describe examples of BMS connector use cases and the individual features of each connector solution.

Use Case Example of Connectors for Battery Systems

The battery unit installed in the EV and PHEV consists of many electronics including battery modules and a battery monitoring system that monitors the status of battery cells. JAE has developed a wide range of automotive connectors to be used in connecting the components within each module.
For the connectors on the battery module, it is required to have multiplekey options to prevent a mating error during installation. There is also alower height requirement due to the limited space. JAE has developed the automotive connectors to meet those requirements, with a good track record in their adoptions.
The following sections describe the product features of the connectors used in battery systems.
