Case Study: RHT Power Drawer Connectors Application in R100020G1 Module

This report analyzes the application of DQF series drawer connectors used in the Huawei R100020G1 charging module. It outlines the key technical parameters of the input and output connectors and explains the criteria behind their selection. The following sections provide a detailed overview.

DQF Series Drawer Connectors

Renhotec power drawer connectors are modular interconnects for power systems and electrical equipment such as data centers, energy systems, and industrial controls. They are ideal for compact spaces requiring high current capacity and signal transmission.

Each housing supports up to 10 modules, and each module accommodates one of five contact types. This flexible design enables quick configuration without the need for custom tooling, saving time and cost while ensuring a perfect fit. As shown in the picture below, these are the drawer connectors used in the Huawei R100020G1 charging module.

Input and Output Configuration with Renhotec Drawer Connectors

DQF0000047 (Input Side)

• Rated current: 250A DC (300A peak for 10s)
• Contact resistance: ≤0.28mΩ (@200A, 25°C)

DQF0000048 (Output Side):

• Modular parallel design (4×50A channels)
• Temperature rise: ΔT<30K (@200A continuous load)

Input and Output Connectors

Input Connector

The model of the connector for AC input power cables is Huafeng DY98-02Z01/Renhotec RHT-04B 4 pin 35A drawer connector. You need to check the connector dimensions and prepare it by yourself. Install the connector based on the requirements of the manufacturer.

NOTICE: Before connecting a cable, check the direction of the connector, especially the silkscreen on the front and the chamfer on the rear of the connector, to ensure that the cable is correctly connected.

The following table shows the definition of the Input Connector.

Port	Item	Function
1	PE	Connects to the ground terminal in the system.
2	L1	AC input
3	L2	AC input
4	L3	AC input

Output Connector

The DC output power cables can be connected in either of the following ways:

• Output connector with welded board on signal pins: The connector model is Huafeng DY98-01Z03/Renhotec RHT-13 13 pin 65A drawer connector. Install the external adapter board (provided by the customer) on the signal terminal, weld and secure the board, and then connect the communications cable.
• Output connector with crimped cables on signal pins: The connector model is Huafeng DY98-01Z02. Crimp the communications cable (prepared by the customer), connect the cable to the metal jack, and then insert the cable into the corresponding pin of the output connector.

Output connector definition

Pin	Item	Function
1,2	1000 V DC-	Negative output (pins 1 and 2must be connected in parallel)
3,4	1000 V DC+	Positive output (pins 3 and 4must be connected in parallel)
5	CANBH	CAN high-level signal
6	CANBL	CAN low-level signal
7	CANBH	CAN high-level signal
8	CANBL	CAN low-level signal
9	CAN_GND	Signal ground
10	LINK_CHECK_OK	Insertion and removal control
11	URGENT_TURN_OFF+	Emergency shutdown+
12	URGENT_TURN_OFF–	Emergency shutdown–

CAUTION

Pin 9 and pin 10 of the DC output connector must be short-circuited. Otherwise, the charging module cannot be started.
