Current Rating: 50A
Voltage Rating: 600V (AC/DC)
Wire Size: 4mm²–6mm²
Safety: Anti-reverse (fool-proof) design
EK3S is an IP67 sealed, male/female quick-connect battery connector designed for reliable AC/DC power and DC battery connections in harsh environments. A built-in locking mechanism helps prevent accidental disengagement, while the anti-reverse (keyed) design reduces mating errors during installation and maintenance. With a 50A / 600V rating and 6–10 AWG cable compatibility, EK3S is well-suited for power tools, UPS systems, portable devices, medical equipment, and general AC/DC power applications.
Locking design
The plug features an integrated lock that is easy to operate and helps prevent loosening or drop-out, improving connection safety.
Anti-reverse (fool-proof) design
A keyed anti-reverse structure helps prevent incorrect mating, reducing mistakes during operation and service.
Waterproof & dust-proof design
The mating interface is tightly sealed and equipped with waterproof rubber plugs, supporting demanding outdoor or contaminated environments.
Forklift & Material Handling
Battery swapping and charging operations requiring frequent, reliable connections with mismating prevention across mixed fleets.
UPS & Backup Power
DC connections for UPS and backup battery systems where fast service and connection reliability are critical.
Outdoor & Mobile Power
Sealed DC connections for equipment exposed to water/dust and vibration in field or mobile use.
Q: What is the EK3S connector used for?
A: EK3S is an IP67 sealed DC power/battery connector for applications such as fleet charging stations, material handling equipment, UPS/backup power, and outdoor/mobile power connections where quick service and reliable mating are required.
Q: Is EK3S male/female or genderless?
A: EK3S is a male/female connector set (not genderless). It uses a keyed (anti‑reverse) design to help prevent incorrect mating.
Q: Can it be connected/disconnected under load (hot plug)?
A: The specification includes “With Load (Hot Plug 250 cycles & 120V) 50A.” Always follow your system safety procedures—hot-plugging may create arcing depending on voltage/current and circuit design.
