160A High Current Battery Socket with Handle – DIN Female Housing

This battery socket with integrated handle is a high-current connector designed for electric-powered industrial vehicles (forklifts, warehouse equipment, and AGVs). It ensures safe and stable connections between the battery and the electrical system, reducing the risk of overheating and poor contact, even in demanding applications.

Thanks to the robust body made of reinforced material and the ergonomic handle, it makes daily connection and disconnection operations easier, even when wearing work gloves.

Benefits for your business

This high-current battery connector is designed to ensure service continuity and system safety: reinforced materials reduce wear and impact damage, while copper-silver contacts minimize voltage drops and overheating. The result is a reliable battery connection, fewer downtimes, and faster, more schedulable maintenance.

Notes on compatibility and assembly

• Ideal for traction batteries of forklifts and other electric industrial vehicles.

• Always check the DIN coding of the connector installed on your vehicle to ensure full mechanical and electrical compatibility.

• Make sure the rated current (160 A) and operating voltage are adequate for your system.

• Fixed mounting on a panel or frame must be carried out by qualified personnel, complying with EN 1175-1:2020 standards and good wiring practices.
