Our robust and flexible 48V offerings are engineered to enhance efficiency, reduce weight and cost, support automation, and improve overall system performance—empowering the next generation of sustainable and intelligent vehicle architectures. As a global leader in connectivity and a key
driver of 48V interface standardization, TE delivers the technology and expertise needed to ensure the highest levels of safety, reliability, and compliance with ISO and other critical certifications. Our solutions are specifically developed to meet stringent creepage and clearance requirements, providing durable, future-ready technology built for the challenges of tomorrow's automotive systems.

TE Connectivity’s 48V automotive connectors are designed to meet strict requirements for creepage and clearance, ensuring safe, arc-free performance in high-voltage environments. With robust locking mechanisms and compliance with key automotive standards, these connectors offer reliable operation under harsh conditions. Our evaluation process considers pollution level, material group, voltage rating, and altitude to calculate minimum spacing needs. Connectors using single wire seals with terminal size not smaller than 1.2mm typically meet 48V standards due to the inherent spacing in the seal design. Additionally, TE has developed an internal creepage and clearance calculator to support this process. If a connector does not meet 48V criteria, selective cavity population can be used to artificially increase terminal spacing and achieve compliance.
