M8 Waterproof Connector Types and Specifications
FD Series Waterproof Connectors for EV BMS and Energy Storage Systems
The FD series connectors are engineered specifically for new energy applications, offering comprehensive model coverage, flexible pin configurations, and precise scenario adaptation. These circular connectors support EV battery management systems (BMS), charging interfaces, and energy storage system (ESS) power distribution with reliable environmental sealing and robust electrical performance.
IP68 Environmental Protection for Demanding New Energy Installations
FD series connectors provide IP68 waterproof and dustproof protection, with a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. This makes them suitable for harsh new energy environments including EV chassis mounting and outdoor energy storage cabins where moisture, dust, and temperature fluctuations are common concerns.

Multi-Pin Configurations for Signal and Power Transmission
Available in 2-pin to 37-pin configurations, FD series connectors accommodate diverse signal and power transmission requirements. This flexibility allows design engineers to standardize on one connector family across multiple subsystems within an EV or ESS platform, simplifying procurement and inventory management.

Construction Materials and Locking Mechanisms
FD series connectors use PA66/PBT engineering plastic housings for mechanical strength, with LCP/PA66 insulation materials providing electrical performance including insulation resistance of at least 1000 MΩ. The connectors feature latch lock or thread lock mechanisms to prevent accidental disconnection under vibration, a critical requirement for mobile and outdoor installations.

Application-Specific Selection Guidance
Choosing the right FD series model depends on your specific new energy application:
-
FD10 – Designed for EV low-voltage auxiliary systems including automotive lighting, central control unit power supply, and sensor signal transmission such as tire pressure monitoring and body control sensors.
-
FD20/FD30 – Suited for EV slow charging guns (AC charging interface connection) and PTC heater power supply loops, ensuring stable energy transmission for vehicle heating and charging circuits.
-
FD50 – Intended for energy storage battery cluster interconnection (lithium-ion battery pack series-parallel connection) and ESS cabin internal power distribution, built for long-term outdoor operation.
Customization and Quality Assurance Considerations
When specifying FD series connectors for your project, consider the following decision factors:
-
Pin configuration – Confirm the exact pin count and gender (male/female) required for your mating interface before ordering.
-
Environmental adaptation – Verify that the operating temperature range and IP rating match your installation environment, particularly for outdoor ESS cabinets or EV under-chassis routing.
-
Locking mechanism – Select latch lock or thread lock based on vibration exposure and maintenance access requirements.
-
Custom modifications – Discuss special pin arrangements or environmental adaptations with the manufacturer when standard configurations do not fully match your application.
For project planning, please provide your connector series preference, required pin count, cable entry direction, mounting style (panel or cable), and the specific new energy application so we can confirm the correct mating configuration.
