Heavy Duty Anderson Power 906-BK Connector Designed For High Power Applications With Color Coded Keys
Product Overview
The SB 350 is the largest connector in its series, designed for high-power applications with capabilities up to 500 amps when used with 350 mcm wire. It accommodates wires ranging from 1/0 to 350 mcm (53.5 to 185 mm) within a single housing, available in standard polycarbonate or a chemical-resistant PBT/PC blend. The genderless design ensures self-mating, and mechanical keys are color-coded for easy identification. Silver-plated wire and busbar contacts minimize electrical resistance, offering superior durability and reliability for up to 10,000 mating cycles. An optional chemical-resistant housing extends the operating temperature range down to -40C and provides enhanced UV and chemical resistance. The SB 350 is suitable for use with both wire and busbar contacts, enabling color-coded, mechanically keyed connections.
