Powerful, Flexible Charging Connections

Support Uninterrupted Operation

With the growing demand for mobile robots in warehouse automation, rugged, powerful, and flexible connectivity solutions that provide long product life are a must. A single broken connection can bring warehouse operations to a halt — and the lost time can be costly. Connectivity solutions must support uninterrupted operations along with providing efficient charging capabilities and battery management solutions. Learn more about AGV trends and how connector solutions are evolving to meet the growing demand and deliver improved performance.

Automated Warehouses Need Rugged Charging Capabilities

Read Our White Paper

In warehouse automation, the reliability of forklifts, AGVs, AMRs, and ASRS  is crucial. The steady operation of these warehouse vehicles depends on a battery management system (BMS), which tracks battery usage, temperature, and charging status. Since battery connectors are one of the most vulnerable parts of the system, the use of rugged, high-quality connections is key to avoiding downtime. Our products for battery management are designed and engineered to work in harsh environments with high vibration. They help enable the miniaturization needed for increasingly compact batteries and battery systems.

Power & Signal connector

Power & Signal connector

Dynamic Series wire-to-board, wire-to-panel, and wire-to-wire connectors provide a scalable system that can be used for communication between the BMS and the cell management system (CMS) and sensor connections between the CMS, the cell module, and the charging balancing.
Battery Connectors

Battery Connectors

Our AMP power series consists of single-pole and 2-pole (battery) connector housings, crimp snap-in contacts and accessories. These connectors provide a durable, quick connect/disconnect means to transmit power levels of current and voltage (15-275 A, 600 V AC/DC).
Softshell connectors

Softshell connectors

Universal MATE-N-LOK connectors utilize a combination of pins and sockets intermixed in the housings to achieve excellent performance in a 0.250 (6.35) pitch design. Rated for 600 VAC/VDC and 19 A, these connectors offer wire-to-wire, wire-to-panel, and wire-to-board configurations.
DC contactors

DC contactors

Cost-effective and vibration-resistant contactors designed for easy and fast termination. Engineered with a compact design for space savings with auxiliary contacts for monitoring.
Power Relays

Power Relays

Cost-effective, reliable relay solutions designed to withstand extreme shock and vibration. Use our relay selector tool to find the relay suited to your battery management needs.

Where there are batteries, there must be charging. Speed is key in warehouse automation, and the various robots operating in a warehouse cannot sit idly for hours on end to power up. Therefore, charging currents tend to be high in warehouses, ranging from 40 A to 300 A. Reliable power connectors simplify assembly efforts and help reduce safety hazards, and TE’s products can help improve power distribution capabilities between the charger, battery, and drive system. Our connectors offer multiple contact points to support high-vibration tolerance and our large product portfolios serve a wide variety of uses and compact designs.
