power connection solutions featuring Anderson Power 2005V4 Saf D Grid connectors for AC DC systems
Anderson Power Saf-D-Grid Connectors
Product Overview
The Anderson Power Saf-D-Grid connector system builds upon the proven contact technology of SB and Powerpole connectors, offering enhanced features for higher voltage DC or hybrid AC/DC systems. Designed to meet international safety requirements, Saf-D-Grid connectors enable greater power density within the footprint of an IEC 620 C13/C14, safely and efficiently connecting devices carrying AC or DC current up to 30A and 600V. Key features include a first-mate, last-break ground contact for enhanced safety, an integral latch to prevent accidental unmating, hot plug rating for both electronic and electrical loads, touch-safe design with shock protection, and arc containment within housings. These connectors are ideal for applications requiring reliable power connections in systems using AC or DC, particularly in locations where renewable and alternative energy sources are utilized to maintain system uptime.
