Anderson Power Products introduced the Saf-D-Grid 300, designed specifically for single-phase AC applications requiring high voltages, small size and high current carrying capability.
Making use of a silver-plated, pure copper contact system and durable thermoplastic insulators, available configurations allow up to 30 A and 300 V within the same panel cutout as IEC 60320 C13/C14 connectors.
Offerings feature separate mechanical keys for 10 A and 20 A configurations which prevent accidental overloading of wires not rated to carry the current. A future 30 A key expands the power handling capabilities to 140% of comparably sized IEC connectors, in a size 80% smaller than NEMA connectors with similar power handling capabilities.
Saf-D-Grid 300 also offers a higher operating temperature than IEC or NEMA connectors which are limited by use of brass contacts. The maximum operating temperature of 80°C makes Saf-D-Grid ideal for power supplies where the hot exhaust is directed onto the power inlet connector. The receptacle housing is constructed of high-temperature, glass filled nylon, allowing it to operate in temperatures of up to 120°C.
Both the plug and receptacle side are touch-safe to maximise operator safety at hazardous voltages. Universal touch safety also enables the simplicity of using the same receptacle for both power inlet and outlet connections. The integral latch on the plug housing prevents accidental disconnect of power without the need for added accessories such as metal bail latches or hook and loop fabric straps. An optional ground-tied shield is available to minimise the EMI profile of power supplies.
