RoPD®
RoPD® – Rosenberger Power Data Connectors with magnetic self-mating mechanism are designed for Light Electric Vehicles (LEV) including e-bikes and e-scooters as well as UGVs and drones. Providing fast and reliable magnetic connection, these are particularly suited for data communication and power transmission of voltages up to 60 V and current loads up to 40 A. The magnetic locking and precise self-mating capability prevents any accidental or forced disconnection and therefore possible damage to the connector or the LEV. Furthermore, the high tolerance pin and socket design allows many mating cycles.
The RoPD® connection system is ideal for many LEV connection applications – including battery changing and charging – where frequent connection and disconnection is required. Versions of the RoPD® system are also available for EnergyBus applications.
Magnetic Self-Mating
Rosenberger has developed a locking system that offers an intelligent alternative to mechanical coupling connections. The magnetic self-mating connectors provide all common functions and are suitable for power and data transmission. Self-mating works as follows: When the plug is approaching the socket, it is attracted by the magnetic force and virtually slides into the socket by itself. This makes it an efficient and comfortable handling and ensures a correct connection.
Break-Away Function
This is designed to break the connection should the plug or cable be subjected to an acute tensile force (intentional or unintentional). It avoids the risk of injury to the user and damage to the connectors or devices. The deliberate removal of the plug is also fast and simple due to the break-away function.

EnergyBus - The Open Standard for LEV
EnergyBus is an open standard and purpose-made bus system for the electrical components in Light Electric Vehicles (LEVs) such as pedelecs, e-bikes, e-scooters, and also for energy management systems. It is based on the automotive CAN standard. The EneryBus protocol has been specifically designed to meet the requirements of light electric vehicles, and accordingly prioritises processing of system data, data packet transfer and on defining hardware such as connectors, cables etc. This means that manufacturers benefit from a standardised, closely defined developer toolkit. The standardisation allows all manufacturer of LEVs to use the same charging Infrastructure.

Applications
- RoPD® Connectors are suitable for data communication and power transmission
- For the Light Electric Vehicle Industry (LEV), e.g.:
- E-bikes
- E-scooters
- E-wheelchairs
- Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV)
- Drones
- Medical, industrial and consumer applications

This Certificate of Compliance indicates that selected panel connectors have met the requirements for UL certification.
