Product Features

EK4S series forklift battery connectors are designed for high-current DC battery charging and power connections in material handling and industrial equipment. With a flame-retardant housing and silver-plated copper terminals, EK4S supports stable, repeatable mating for service-friendly battery swapping and charging workflows.

 

Flame-Retardant, Robust Housing

The housing is made from flame-retardant engineering plastic to help withstand stress and pressure in demanding industrial environments. The material is designed to self-extinguish after removal from the ignition source.
 

Reliable High-Current Terminals

Silver-plated copper terminals support low-loss power transfer and stable contact performance in frequent connect/disconnect operations.
 

Protective Accessories for Field Use

A protective wire cover and sealing accessories (rubber ring components) are designed for easier installation and added protection against environmental interference such as rain, sand, and dust (protection class IP23).

 

Applications

Forklifts & material handling equipment: battery swapping, charging interfaces, service connections

Charging stations & DC power interfaces: charger-to-battery connections in warehouses and depots

Industrial equipment: high-current DC power supply equipment

Railway/mining: high-current plug-in connections and accessories

 

FAQ

Q: What is the EK4S connector used for?

A: EK4S is a high‑current DC battery connector used for forklift battery charging, battery swapping, and industrial DC power connections.

 

Q: Is EK4S a Euro DIN (DIN‑type) forklift battery connector?
