PEM DC Input Block

Tesla Roadster โ€” PEM DC Input Block Upgrade

This is the insulating block that channels 400 Volts DC at hundreds of amps to the inverter section of the PEM to create 3-phase AC for the drive train.

The original injection-molded ABS black connector block in the PEM becomes brittle with age. Annual serviceโ€”loosening and re-torquing the PEM connections to the ESS main battery packโ€”adds stress and often leads to cracks and crumbling of the assembly.

Why it matters
  • This port carries high-current, high-voltage DC from the ESS Main Battery to the PEM.
  • Annual preventive maintenance requires connecting and disconnecting cable mounting hardware, eventually resulting in failure since this part was not designed for install/deinstall.
  • Common fracture paths can allow ~400 V DC to chassis. Even with HV isolation, floating voltage on the chassis is dangerous.
Our solution
  • Reproduced in High Voltage Orange via precision 3D printing (original mold no longer available).
  • Housing is machined and fitted with brass sleeves/insertsโ€”no more self-tapping fasteners into plastic.
  • Delivers stronger threads, consistent torque, and long-term serviceability.
