The SMH Euro DIN connector is part of a family of high-power, industrial-grade electrical connectors designed for use in battery and charger systems, especially in material handling and industrial power applications. These connectors are well-known for their robust construction, safety features, and standardized design across the DIN 43589-1 specification.

🔌 SMH Euro DIN Connector – Overview

SMH(SenMaiHan) manufactures the Euro DIN series to meet the stringent European DIN standards, commonly used in electric forklifts, pallet jacks, tow tractors, and other electric industrial vehicles.

🧩 Key Features

• Standardized Design: Conforms to DIN 43589-1.

• Genderless Housing: Mates with identical connectors, simplifying use and reducing errors.

• Modular Construction: Allows custom configurations for auxiliary contacts, keying, and ventilation.

• High Current Capability: Typically rated for 80A to 320A, depending on the size (sizes 80, 160, 320).

• Voltage Rating: Usually rated for up to 150V DC.

• Built-in Ventilation: Optional ventilation plugs help release gas buildup in battery charging.

• Mechanical Keying: Prevents mismating of connectors with different voltages or systems.

• Auxiliary Contacts Support: For temperature sensors, CAN bus, or interlock functions.

• Color Coding Options: Ensures system voltage identification and safety.
