INTRODUCING BLIND MATING MOBILE CHARGING CONNECTOR

  • High mating cycle life
  • Modular solution that will support different configurations, data, sensing

TE Connectivity (TE)’s blind mating mobile charging connector is intended for smaller mobile robots and autonomous vehicles typically used in warehouse environments. Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) are currently used mostly for material handling (picking, movement, storage, sorting) in the warehouse automation space. The charging connector is available in 2 and 3 power contact options with up to 8 signal contacts to ease installation and rework cycle times.

APPLICATIONS

  • Charging for Autonomous Mobile Robots /Automated Guided Vehicles (AMR/AGV)
  • Blind mate battery charging
  • Industrial, hospitality, retail, medical

BENEFITS

  • High mating cycle life
  • Modular solution that will support different configurations, data, sensing
  • First make last break power contact (3P only)
  • Floating panel mount design maximizes misalignment tolerance capability
  • UL recognized to UL 1977

SPECIFICATIONS

  • Product spec 108-160493
  • Application spec 114-160271
