Rugged power and signal connectors

21 March 2012 Interconnection

The SPEC Pak Extreme connector series from Anderson Power Products (APP) uses rugged and environmentally sealed (IP68) shells to protect APP Powerpole contacts and housings. Customer-configured SPEC Pak Extreme connectors are capable of up to 310 A and may be used anywhere a rugged and/or waterproof high-power, signal and ground interconnect solution is required.

The shell accepts 75 to 180 A Powerpole contacts. The wide range of Powerpole housing colours and contact sizes, coupled with the available Powerpole holders, offers the user a wide array of design options. Flexibility can be enhanced by replacing a PP120 housing with the PP 15/45 adapter to provide auxiliary signal options. Wire sizes ranging from 0,5 to 85,0 mm² can be accommodated.

SPEC Pak Extreme is highly configurable with thousands of design options in a single interconnect. Accessories include an IP68 rated plug cover with lanyard and sturdy aluminium latches with lockout/tag-out capability.
