Amphenol PCD Shenzhen product spotlight – EXCEL | MATE MSD – Manual Service Disconnects

These safety devices used within a high voltage battery pack assembly are called MSD or manual service disconnect. These devices provide a safe method for breaking the electrical continuity inside the battery pack for the purpose of vehicle service or service to high voltage systems. The MSD is a touch safe, removable enclosure containing the fuse. Removal of the MSD is useful for servicing the high voltage system of the vehicle battery pack because the positive and negative connections to the pack are no longer electrically connected. The MSD is not designed for removal while there is current flowing through the battery pack; the contactors still must be opened prior to MSD removal.

Amphenol PCD Shenzhen’s MSD products are equipped with a two-stage lever to open the HVIL circuit prior to the separation of HV contacts, offering a leading tool-free solution for disconnecting the internal high voltage battery pack and providing protection from short circuit. All HV conductive contact surfaces on the receptacle assembly are finger-touch safe further promoting safety to end user during service procedures. An available dust cap is ready for the provision of keeping contacts protected during service disassembly of MSD.
