Smiths Interconnect announces today the release of the next generation of its modular Transformer Connector Range – Heavy Power Series, for on-board power applications within the rail market. The Transformer Heavy Power Series employs a specialist do-it-yourself system based on the building block principle that allows manufacturers in the Railway industry to design their own interconnect solution by procuring the connector’s elementary piece parts. This translates into design flexibility and cost savings by reducing supply chain, cabling and maintenance costs, at the same time ensuring quick and flexible time to market. The key innovation of the next generation of the Transformer Heavy Power Series is Smiths Interconnect’s Tortac® technology, boasting the characteristics of the Hypertac hyperboloid contact on equal pin diameter to feature smaller pitches, higher contact density and higher current ratings. Suitable for on-board applications requiring the transmission of very high currents such as power distribution, inter-coaches and bogies, the Transformer Heavy Power Series has been designed according to EN50124 PD4 to ensure the reliability of the interconnect solution in high voltage applications operating in a polluted environment. It contributes to prevent breaks down caused by overvoltage issues, while ensuring passengers’ safety. In addition, design and testing is performed according to NFF61030 & EN50467.
