Every modern rail vehicle equipped with an electric train supply requires an UIC connector. This is necessary for the electric train supply in order to conduct the central power supply (e.g. air conditioning or car illumination) right from the traction unit to every single car. Our UIC 552 VE connector system has been designed for fulfilling this purpose.
In order to achieve this technically, appropriate connectors are needed between the traction unit all the other rail vehicles. The connector complies with UIC 552 requirements.
In addition to the UIC 552 conventional plug-in connection system in the M0 version, era-contact also proposes the improved UIC 552 connector system in the M1 type with its specially patented pilot contact.
