Anderson Power Products (APP) represented in Australia and New Zealand by Soanar , have announced a new addition to the finger proof family of products with the release of the SBS75x connector. The SBS75x connector provides power contacts rated up to 110 amps and the touch-safe design provides protection to the user by eliminating finger contact with live circuits per UL1977, section 10.2.
The SBS75x connector is recommended for use with hazardous DC voltages in systems operating from 50 to 600 volts, where risk of shock can be health threatening. In addition, the housing accepts up to four auxiliary contacts for applications requiring signal capability. The male signal contacts (6.4mm to 9.3mm) are available in four lengths when sequencing is required and provide a make last/break first connection in relation to the power contacts.
The SBS75x connector utilises Anderson Power Products’ flat wipe contact technology for the power contacts, allowing it to be rated for circuit interruption (hot plugging) under load when no auxiliary contacts are used.
The SBS75x connector’s ergonomic design is contoured to fit the operator’s grip, allowing for easy connection/disconnection. Moulded side grooves allow secure panel mounting for panel thickness of .048 to .062 inches (1.22 to 1.57mm).
