Saf-D-Grid builds on the proven contact technology used in Anderson Power Products’ (APP) SB and Powerpole connectors by offering features required in 380-400 V d.c. power distribution systems.
APP developed the Saf-D-Grid connector system as a safe appliance power connector for server, telecommunication and other devices up to 600 V d.c. The plug and receptacle provide for the direct connection of AC and DC electronic devices to a DC micro-grid powered by renewable-energy or high-efficiency DC sources. The connector meets international safety requirements for hazardous, low-voltage applications including UL 950 and IEC60950.
The Saf-D-Grid is size-compatible with the IEC 320C13 and C14 connection system, and is UL rated for current interrupt of up to 400 V d.c. and 30 A load. Saf-D-Grid also enables greater power density by allowing up to 30 A and 600 V (disconnect) DC or AC within the same space of the IEC320 C13 and C14 system that is typically limited to 10 A and 250 V a.c. This allows the use of Saf-D-Grid in AC systems that require more power by increasing the wattage capability within the existing connector space.
Features include:
• Make-first/break-last connection – provides the safety of an earthing path before engagement of the power contacts.
• Integral latch – connectors cannot be accidentally unmated, preventing unwanted power loss to critical equipment.
• Hot-plug rated – the connectors are rated for current interruption for both electronic (capacitive) and electrical (resistive) loads.
• Touch-safe/short protection – minimises the risk of personal contact with a hazardous voltage. Passes UL and IEC finger probe (plug and receptacle) and 3 mm probe tests (receptacle).
• Arcing protection – housings contain the arc if connectors are mated or unmated while under load, minimising risk to personnel.
What’s the big deal with open pin fields? Spectrum Concepts
Interconnection
The concept behind the open pin field array is that it provides many contacts that are not limited to a single role.
