FAE Expert Insights
"The CUS-BTB-HV-20 demonstrates our capability to design connectors for demanding high-voltage applications. The 8mm creepage distance exceeds standard requirements for 1000V operation, providing safety margin for polluted environments. The PBT GF30 housing material offers excellent tracking resistance and thermal stability. This custom design was developed for a solar inverter customer and has proven reliable in field installations. For similar high-voltage needs, we can customize pitch, pin count, and voltage rating."

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes CUS-BTB-HV-20 suitable for high-voltage applications?
The CUS-BTB-HV-20 is designed specifically for high-voltage with several key features: 1) Increased creepage distance of 8mm (vs 4mm standard) prevents tracking across insulation surfaces. 2) Increased clearance of 6mm prevents arcing through air. 3) PBT GF30 housing material has excellent tracking resistance (CTI >600V). 4) 5.08mm pitch provides adequate spacing between contacts. 5) Special contact geometry reduces electric field concentration. These features allow safe operation at 1000V DC, exceeding standard connector ratings.
Custom design for 1000V. Standard connectors limited to 250-300V.
Can CUS-BTB-HV-20 be customized for different voltage ratings?
Yes, the CUS-BTB-HV series can be customized for various voltage ratings from 500V to 1500V. The design is scalable - higher voltages require larger creepage/clearance distances, which can be achieved by increasing pitch or adding barriers. For voltages above 1500V, different insulation materials and contact designs may be required. Contact our custom solutions team with your specific voltage, current, and dimensional requirements for a tailored design proposal.

What safety certifications does CUS-BTB-HV-20 have?
The CUS-BTB-HV-20 carries UL and cUL recognition for 1000V operation. It is also VDE certified for IEC 60664-1 applications. The connector meets clearance and creepage requirements for overvoltage category III at 1000V. For specific application certifications (medical, automotive, etc.), additional testing may be required. Contact our team for certification documentation and to discuss any additional testing needs for your specific application.
UL/VDE certified for 1000V. Contact us for additional certifications.
What is the minimum order quantity for CUS-BTB-HV-20?
As a custom product, the CUS-BTB-HV-20 has a minimum order quantity (MOQ) of 1,000 pieces. This MOQ covers tooling amortization and setup costs. For larger volumes, pricing decreases significantly - contact us for volume pricing at 5K, 10K, and 50K+ quantities. For prototyping needs, we offer sample quantities (10-100 pieces) at NRE pricing. Lead time for production orders is 8-10 weeks after design approval.
MOQ 1,000 pieces. Samples available for prototyping.
Is CUS-BTB-HV-20 suitable for outdoor applications?
The standard CUS-BTB-HV-20 is designed for indoor industrial applications. For outdoor use, we recommend the CUS-BTB-HV-20-OD version with enhanced sealing and UV-resistant housing material. The OD version includes additional gaskets and conformal coating for moisture protection. For extreme outdoor environments with temperature cycling and high humidity, consider adding a potting compound after assembly for complete environmental sealing. Contact our team for outdoor application recommendations.
Use standard for indoor. Use OD version or potting for outdoor.
