Overview

The EW5-350V DC is engineered for OEMs needing reliable auxiliary heating where space and weight are at a premium. Delivering 5kW of PTC-based thermal output, the EW5 is ideal for cabin heating, windscreen defrosting, or preconditioning battery and powertrain coolant circuits in cold ambient conditions.

With a 350V nominal rating and 250–450V operating range, it’s compatible with mid-voltage battery-electric, hybrid, and fuel cell platforms. Intelligent CAN 2.0B (SAE J1939) communication enables full integration, diagnostics, and precise heat control, while its self-regulating PTC technology maintains efficiency and safety without risk of overheating.

Weighing just 1.7kg and fully sealed to IP6K9K, the EW5 is tested to withstand dust, water ingress, high-pressure washdowns, and the vibration of off-highway and industrial environments, making it a dependable, plug-and-play solution for demanding applications.
