3. Condition of use

• Voltage 42V
• Current (Peak) 500A-60sec.
• Current (Normal) 175A(RMS)
• Environment Temperature Max 120 C

4. Selection of cable

• 4.1 The point of selection
• Temperature of conductor at normal current
• Temperature of conductor at peak current
• 4.2 The basis of data
• We have already developed the 8mm2 cable, the
  experimental results vs the calculate results for
  temperature rise of the conductor are displayed
  in the following table.
• We have confirmed that the experimental results
  are lower than the calculated results.
• On the basis of this confirmation, conductor size
  was decided by calculation.

4.12 Benefits of Hitachi Cables HEV Cable

• Arc Suppression during Connection and
  Disconnection if safety interlock is
  incorporated.
• Capable of carrying high currents, yet protected
  from the harsh automotive environment.
• Connector can rotate without twisting of cable on
  single pole version.
• Connector is designed to utilize shielded or
  unshielded cable.
• Oxygen Free Copper (OFC) is used in the wire.
• Cross connection protection by utilizing multiple
  key configurations.

Connector Concept Coaxial Development item 1.
Insert Mold Insert molding is difficult regarding
Pin-Contact, two Ring spacers, and especially
Socket Contact. 2. Mating Force Mating force of
the connector is expected to be large due to a
large number of contact points. 3. Contact Method
of Shield Wire to The Case It is not decided how
to contact shield wire(external side) to the
case. It is necessary to find a good method. 4.
Temperature Rise Temperature is expected to
largely increase because of big current with dual
structure. It is necessary to select a proper
material.

7.1 Brake-By-Wire Cable and Connector

• Advantages
• Cable
• Same diameter as current brake hose
• High bending characteristics by combining brake
  hose and cable technologies.
• Power lines and Shielded Signal lines combined in
  one cable
• Connector
• High Reliability
• Waterproof
• Integral strain relief
