EXRAD® ERGOFLEX ISO 19642-9 Thin-Wall Shielded HV Battery Cable

    Product features:
  • Ultimate Flexibility
  • Superior Compression Set
  • FHLR13XC13X

EXRAD® ERGOFLEX thin-wall battery cable is a revolutionary highly flexible Irradiation Cross-linked Elastomeric Polyolefin insulation (XLPO) which meets ISO 19642-5 Class D, including all fluid tests such as battery acid, motor oils, power steering and ATF.

These ultra-flexible cables are easier to work with and install especially with regard to tight bend radii.  EXRAD ERGOFLEX is designed to reduce operator ergonomic stress and fatigue while handling cable harnesses.  This state-of-the-art insulation material has excellent compression set characteristics which allows for maintaining proper connector sealing over time and thermal stresses.

The EXRAD ERGOFLEX product is perfectly suited for applications; especially conventional, hybrid and electric vehicles; where a combination of flexibility, long life, thermal robustness and high performance is required.

See the Case Study below for the story of how this next-generation cable technology came to be.
