HIGH POWER CONNECTORS

MOLDED REMA CONNECTOR (MRC) 320

Productfeatures and advantages

Patented high power connector which has been specifically designed for the quick and
opportunity charging of large battery capacities
Compliant with DIN EN 0623-589 and EN 1175-1
Various cable sizes from 50 mm² to 95 mm²
The gas-tight connection between cable and connector housing allows
a higher current carrying capacity (Patented MRC technology)
Used in combination with the REMA Flex cable, which has a special jacket,
results in a significantly higher performance and durability.
Preassembled cables in the different sizes guarantee short installation times and therefore save money.
High current rated according to DIN VDE 0623-589 (Current Rating II) depending on the cable size
Special characteristics of the material (chemically coupled, heat and alkali-stabilized copolymer),
ensures high resistance against battery acid and UV
High-grade contacts made out of pure high conductive Cu-ETP copper with silver plated surface
and an anti-friction and tarnish coating ensure
a power transition with minimal losses
long life
Design matches the DIN 80, DIN 160 and DIN 320
All accessories of the REMA DIN series like coding pins, auxiliary contacts
and pilot contacts can be interchangeable

3. HEATING OF MAIN CONTACTS

The REMA® MRC 320 connector system is designed for optimum performance when used 95 mm² cross
section cable according DIN VDE 0623-589.
In addition, MRC 320 connectors are able to conduct high current of 400 A according to DIN VDE 0623-589
with a conductor cross section of 95 mm².
At other cable cross section the nominal operation current IN will different.
The following curves are for reference. The actual thermal performance may vary depending upon
environmental conditions.

5. CODING

The different types of batteries which are used on the vehicle market today (wet, dry or gel batteries),
may only be charged with the right charger for this type of battery.
In extreme cases, unapproved combinations of charge system and batteries can lead to the battery destruction.
In addition, only chargers and batteries with the same voltage may be combined.
For this reason REMA has developed a specially designed coding system with colored and labelled coding pins.
This system allows correct connections and prevent incorrect ones.
The REMA Coding System meets the requirements of DIN VDE 0623-589.
All displayed product versions can only be used for the REMA MRC 160 and MRC 320.

High power coding pins for wet batteries

The REMA electrical connector MRC 320 is able to carry the current rating II of 400 A according
to DIN VDE 0623-589.
This requires the use of special high-current coding pins and the corresponding locking parts
(see page 2).
To prevent connections of a high current rated charger with regular current rated batteries, the
red and blue coloured coding pins are additionally equipped with a current coding on the plugs
as well as voltage coding.
Current rating II: 400 A acc. DIN VDE 0623-589
Color: red RAL3020
Voltage range: 24 V … 96 V
For the operation of a high-current MRC 400 A-plug device, a cable cross-section 95 mm²
in REMAFlex quality is required.
