PowerTrip® Connectors

Quick-Disconnect, High-Current, Harsh-Environment Power Connectors for Rugged Mil-Aero Applications

Protect Circuits with Series 970 PowerTrip® Connectors

Series 970

Series 970 connectors fill the need for a military-grade harsh environment power connector with improved mechanical, environmental and electrical performance. PowerTrip® delivers reduced size and weight compared to lower-density 5015 type power connectors. Featuring triple-start mating threads, crimp rear-release contacts, IP68 environmental sealing, and improved EMI protection, PowerTrip® is ideal for power distribution units, hybrid electric drives, motors, and other high current applications.

USS George H.W. Bush — Series 970 PowerTrip® Connector
The USS George H.W. Bush is the first US Navy surface ship to use the Series 970 PowerTrip® connector.
  • Fast, easy mating with triple-start ACME thread: 360° turn for full mating
  • Reduced size and weight compared to conventional industrial and/or aerospace solutions
  • LouverBand sockets for improved current ratings; up to 2000 mating cycles
  • Ratcheting coupling nut for secure mating and high vibration resistance
  • Operating temperature -65° C to +200° C
  • IP68+ environmental sealing, 6 ft. for 48 hrs.

Powerline Filters

Powerline filters suited for filtering DC and AC mains services are typically designed to incorporate both common-mode and differential-mode filters (line-to-line). Common mode chokes capable of screening both incoming and outgoing noise and transients are ideally suited for incorporation in Series 970 PowerTrip® filter connectors. All multiple-line filters employ modern filter elements incorporating compensating inductors or coupled chokes. PowerTrip powerline filters are typically supplied as made-to-order (bespoke) solutions. Please contact the factory for application engineering assistance.
