Anderson Power Products

Multi Pole Connectors

Invented by Anderson Power Products®, the innovative modular Powerpole® connectors provide cost-effective reliability, design flexibility and safety for your products' manufacture, installation and maintenance.

The housings are interchangeable, genderless interconnects. Insert contacts into housings and plug together for a clever, simple and low-cost solution to power interconnection. Low-detent contacts are also offered for low insertion/withdrawal force applications. Powerpole® modular connectors are available in 15, 30, 45, 75, 120 and 180 amp ratings for use through 600 Volts continuous, AC or DC operation. There are Powerpoles for many applications and wire sizes, #20 (.5mm) to 1/0 AWG (53.5mm). Contacts are available in reeled and loose piece designs to support all production needs from very high volumes to engineering prototype and low-volume customized products. Powerpoles are stackable and color-coded for easy customization into multipole blocks with or without mechanical keys and make first - break last contacts.

Benefits

Color designates recommended application voltage per industry standards.
Prevents two different voltage coded color housings from mating-(eliminates possibility of mismatching power supplies and electrical outlets.)
Allows for minimal contact resistance at high current. Wiping action cleans contact surface during disconnection.
Capable of 10,000 mating cycles.
Simplifies assembly requirements and reduces inventory.
Provides ability to incorporate a secondary circuit or an air hose - SBE®, SBO® and SBX® connectors.
Helps prevent fingers (or probes) from accidentally touching live contacts. SBE®160 connector meets EN1175 requirements. SBO® meets UL 1950 finger probe test. SBSTM50 connector meets UL 1977 sec 10.2.
