CAN T-connector for E60 and E163 batteries

This ePropulsion CAN communication T-connector is an essential component designed to facilitate communication between ePropulsion motors, their control systems, and compatible batteries. It ensures reliable data transmission within the electric propulsion installation.

This T-connector is a 3-way configuration. It allows simultaneous connection of the ePropulsion control unit and batteries to a motor’s communication port via a single line.

The dimensions of this compact connector are as follows:

Length: 78.00 mmWidth: 71.00 mmHeight: 26.00 mm

The ePropulsion CAN communication T-connector (reference EB-AC05-00) weighs 0.05 kg.

Yes, the design of this keyed connector ensures secure connection and weather resistance, which is essential for use in a marine environment.

This T-connector has a specific configuration with one male connector and two female connectors.

The keyed design of the connector ensures correct and secure connection, preventing connection errors and ensuring reliable data transmission. It also contributes to its resistance to harsh weather conditions.

CAN (Controller Area Network) communication is a standardized protocol that allows different system components, such as motors, batteries, and control units, to communicate efficiently with each other. For ePropulsion systems, this ensures optimal synchronization and control of electric propulsion.

By offering a 3-way configuration, this T-connector allows multiple components (batteries and control unit) to be connected to a single motor communication port. This reduces the number of cables required and simplifies the wiring architecture.

The SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) for this CAN communication T-connector is EB-AC05-00.

This CAN communication T-connector is manufactured by the ePropulsion brand.

The EB-AC05-00 product is the CAN communication T-connector itself. The communication cables required to connect this connector to the batteries, motor, and control unit are usually sold separately.

This T-connector is primarily designed to create branching points in the CAN network, allowing multiple devices (batteries and control units) to be connected to a single line. For extending cable length, specific CAN cable extensions are typically used.

The term "CAN" in the product name refers to the "Controller Area Network" communication protocol. It is a robust communication bus that allows microcontrollers and devices to communicate with each other in hostless applications, essential for data exchange between ePropulsion system components.

The T-connector is usually installed on the main CAN communication line, near the engine, to allow connection of the control unit and compatible batteries to the same line, centralizing communication.

Thanks to its keyed design and standardized connectors for ePropulsion systems, this connector generally does not require special tools for connection. It is designed for simple and secure installation by snapping into place.
