Connectors for high-power battery systems

8 October 2014 Interconnection

A new addition to Anderson Power Products’ multipole connector selection is SB Smart, for high-power storage batteries which are integrated into a larger system or where batteries require monitoring and control circuits. Features include an optional 16-position auxiliary power and signal module, and a selective mate keying system.

Two primary power contacts feature proven flat wiping contact technology invented by APP over 60 years ago. Crimp and poke contacts are available for up to 1/0 AWG (50 mm²) wire. The low-resistance silver plated contacts allow for a UL rating of up to 230 A per pole. The rugged and UL94 V-0 flame retardant polycarbonate housing can last up to 10 000 mating cycles.

The SB Smart auxiliary module can accommodate up to 16 auxiliary positions which are suitable for signal or low power (up to 20 A). Crimp and poke gold-plated, pin and socket contacts are available for #12 to #20 AWG (2,5 to 0,5 mm²) wire. Pin contacts are available in three different lengths to allow sequencing within the auxiliary module. All auxiliary positions are sequenced make-last, break-first in relation to the power contacts.

Connector housings have an integral keying system which allows only intended connector halves to mate. Batteries, chargers and the device / vehicle side of the connection all have their own unique keys which allow only battery-to-charger and battery-to-device / vehicle connections, while preventing charger-to-device connections. Housings also have an integral colour-coded voltage key which can be used to prevent systems with dissimilar voltages or auxiliary configurations from mating.
