Title:: High voltage aluminium connector (LEIKO)
Abstract:: LEIKO is a high voltage connector made of aluminium for electric and hybrid electric vehicles. Substituting copper wires with aluminium wires leads to lighter and more cost efficient automotive car wiring harnesses. Due to the material properties of aluminium compared to copper a new concept for a high voltage connector made of aluminium for aluminium wires was developed. By allocating the topics concept determination, manufacturing technologies and electrical qualification in an interdisciplinary team a well-founded solution meeting the demands of hybrid cars was developed. «
