connectors makes them ideal for electrical outdoor applications. Safety first Anderson Power’s patented flat wiping contact technology provides a low resistance connection with large conducting surface and high normal force ensuring a more stable connection. Contacts have been proven to withstand over 10,000 mating cycles with routine maintenance. The sacrificial tip conf ines damage to the non conducting area when mating or breaking under load. Figure 1 shows the construction of the contact . The design also features a ‘touch safe’ interface that minimizes potential contact with live circuits as specified in UL 60950 & IEC 60529. These connectors can safely be used in through panel applications, and facilitate hot plugging for AC or DC power. Flexible & reliable The SBS®X-75A sealed waterproof connector series has been designed such that one connector can meet multiple needs. Available in wire-to wire, wire-to-board, wire-to-panel mount and panel mount-to-panel mount configurations, the connectors offer four different keying options to prevent incorrect voltage mating and latching to avoid accidental disconnects. Devices are rated for operation between -20°C and +105°C. The rugged, impact-resistant and compact housing has a UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and includes a cable clamp for strain relief. Ground or auxiliary positions are integrated into the one-piece housing. Anderson Power Products’ SBS®X 75A sealed waterproof connector series is available in Israel through Powell Electronics.
