Cooper Bussmann’s Single Vehicle Electrical Center (VEC) and Dual Vehicle Electrical Center (DVEC) are widely used power distribution modules for DC powered vehicles. The VEC & DVEC offer a customized high current power distribution center in a compact size. They use patented programmable 3D matrix technologies that can be easily modified to accommodate a wide range of applications. You work with an engineering team to develope a prototype that fits your needs, and gives you a plug and play installation that keeps your tooling and labor costs low.
The VEC & DVEC accepts standard 2.8mm wide terminals including mini fuses, mini circuit breakers, relays, flashers, diodes and more. They allow you to eliminate external jumpers and splices in wire harnesses that are subject to the harsh environments, and use a protected centralized unit for power distribution. The VEC can accommodate up to 2 input connectors - 4 bladed inputs or 2 studs - and 4 output connectors. The DVEC can accommodate up to twice this amount. (Some designs may limit the number of connectors available for use.)
Trucks, buses, RVs, Con-Ag equipment, marine vehicles, forklifts, electric vehicles and more use the VEC/DVEC for distributing main and auxiliary "add-on" power applications. They are also commonly used as engine controllers, transmission controllers, and ABS brake system control modules.
The customizable designs of the VEC/DVEC enable them to incorporate many different devices and multiple design variations. Splices in the harness can be eliminated by internally programming them into the grid matrix. The inputs (connector or stud) and outputs (connector) of the VEC/DVEC are color-coded and keyed, and provide quick installation. This also makes the module easy to service. The largest benefit of these modules are the reduced lead times and zero tooling cost.
