Solution decision path
From application problem to connector selection
Use this route to turn an operating condition into technical requirements, suitable product families and a complete RFQ package.
01
Application problem
What operating condition is creating connector risk?
A 48V architecture increases power density and introduces new interface, transient, temperature and protection requirements that cannot be handled by nominal voltage alone.
Define use case
02
Connector requirement
Which technical requirements must be confirmed first?
Voltage: nominal, maximum operating and transient conditions / Current: continuous/peak load, duty cycle, cable and temperature rise / Interface: DC/DC, starter-generator, distribution, pump or auxiliary module
Check requirements
03
Product route
Which product families should be reviewed for this solution?
2.8mm Sealed Automotive Power Connector / 6.3mm Automotive Power Terminal / 120A EV Power Connector

Technical risks to confirm before product selection
These points help buyers understand why connector selection should be reviewed by application, not only by product name or pin count.
Nominal 48V does not define the maximum operating or transient voltage.
Power connector temperature rise depends on current profile, contact, cable, enclosure and ambient temperature.
Color, touch protection, sealing and service-disconnect requirements depend on customer and system rules.

Solution FAQ
Is 48V connector selection the same as 12V selection?
No. Maximum voltage, transients, power level, spacing, temperature rise and protection requirements must be reviewed for the actual 48V system.
What 48V applications can be reviewed?
Typical requirement paths include DC/DC, power distribution, starter-generator, electric pumps, fans and other auxiliary electrification interfaces.
