Interconnect Ideal For Train Current Converters

ITT Interconnect Solutions has announced the Power VIP connector, a 90-deg interconnect that is ideal for use in train current converters, power transmission applications and mobile generators. The Power VIP connector is designed to replace fixed insulator power systems and enable current converters on trains to be quickly and easily connected and disconnected. The lightweight Veam Power VIP has a straight receptacle and a right-angle plug.

The connector meets the latest safety regulations and incorporates finger protection to guard against the risk of injury or electric shock, while allowing an operative to mate and unmate the connector quickly. The Veam Power VIP connector features a threaded coupling with keyway orientation and is rated up to 700A. RoHS compliant and IP67 water protected, the interconnect meets standards for low smoke emission as well as I2F2 and UL-94-V0 standards.
