Node location in any vehicle area
Faster data transmission rates
Our options span a full spectrum of frequencies, and are engineered with the insight we’ve gained by designing complete and integrated high-frequency networks.
High voltage Connectors
A leader in high voltage connection system development since 1990, Yazaki draws on extensive experience in wire harnesses, connectors and battery posts/terminals. Yazaki has developed components for high voltage applications, electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV), working with customers that include Toyota, DaimlerChrysler, Honda, GM, Ford and Nissan.
Yazaki meets customer needs with technologies that include EMI shielded connection systems; “last-mate/first-break” safety features (assures system is not “live” until connection is made), high voltage/low current systems (utilize standard terminal system), and conductive and inductive charging systems.
Today, every hybrid electric vehicle on the road contains at least one Yazaki high-voltage product.
