High-power connector

28 September 2011 Interconnection

Anderson Power Products has introduced the SPEC Pak High Power connector with current handling capacity from 75 to 260 A and an IP68-rated, environmentally sealed shell. It is designed for portable and test equipment; solar, wind and traditional power generation; traffic control equipment; as well as transportation, industrial, agricultural and military applications.

The SPEC Pak line’s housing design and materials create a rugged, watertight and weatherproof enclosure to protect electrical components from water, dust and other harsh environmental contaminants. The new high-power connector features a UL94 V-0 flammability rating and a UL 746C F1 weatherability rating. It is compatible with industry-standard PG threaded sealing glands and has sturdy aluminium latches with lockout/tag-out capability.

The connector shell accepts 75 to 180 A Powerpole contacts and up to eight auxiliary contacts. Powerpole contact housings are available in a wide array of colours, providing wire-to-housing colour coding options and design flexibility. The combination of housings, power, ground and signal contacts offer thousands of design options for demanding applications. Wire sizes can accommodate a range from 0,25 to 85,0 mm².

The user-configurable Powerpole insert housings offer flexibility for the SPEC Pak High Power connector. The H02 arrangement holds up to two PP180 contacts and eight auxiliaries. The H03 arrangement features up to three PP120 contacts and eight auxiliaries, while the H06 arrangement accommodates up to six PP75 contacts and eight auxiliaries.
