Royal Power Solutions has introduced two breakthrough products that improve energy efficiency and overcome waste in electric and hybrid vehicles.

The High Power Lock Box (HPLB) is the industry’s only high-current connector (more than 150 amps continuous current) that meets USCAR2 T4 (150 degrees C) and V4 (severe vibration) requirements while also satisfying S3 standards for sealing under pressure spray, says the company. It is available in nine sizes, from Pico and Nano to 8x and 12x Beam LP (low profile).

The RigiFlex busbar with integrated HPLB terminals includes both rigid and flexible segments in one continuous seamless conductor that enables fully automated battery pack assembly. According to the company, the busbar eliminates complex stamping dies while helping to improve time to market.

For both products, the manufacturer has achieved concept approval on 22 vehicles in development in both the U.S. and Europe.
