Environmentally sealed connectors

17 April 2013 Interconnection

Anderson Power Products has expanded its family of environmentally sealed connectors with the new Mid-Power SPEC Pak. Like the other connectors in the SPEC Pak family, the new connector is rugged and rated to IP68, and leverages APP’s core Powerpole flat wiping contact technology.

Mid Power SPEC Pak has power handling capabilities up to 80 A at 600 V, AC or DC, with signal. This interconnect will accept up to four power contacts ranging in size from #12 to #6 AWG (3,3 to 13,3 mm²) and up to eight auxiliary contacts ranging in size from #24 to #12 AWG (0,25 to 13,3 mm²)

The environmentally sealed shells have a weatherability rating of F1 and flame resistance rating of V-0. The wire-to-wire and wire-to-panel configurations feature a metal latch to prevent accidental unmating. They will accommodate up to four Powerpole housings, including power contacts. These housings are available in a wide array of colours, providing colour coding options to ease assembly.
