locking dovetail housings in Anderson Power 5912-BK connectors for wire to wire and busbar applications

Product Overview

The Powerpole PP75 series offers versatile connector solutions for wire-to-wire, wire-to-board, and wire-to-busbar applications. Designed to handle power capabilities up to 120 amps per pole, these connectors accommodate wire sizes from #16 AWG (1.3 mm) to #6 AWG (13.3 mm). Available in standard, chemical-resistant (CR), and locking dovetail housings, the PP75 series provides robust and reliable connections for demanding industrial environments. Locking housings offer secure stacking, while CR housings ensure durability against industrial solvents. Premate Ground housings provide first-mate, last-break functionality.

• Available Platings: Tin, Silver.

Accessories

• Strain Relief Grommets: For strain relief in the back of PP75 housings.
• Mounting Wings: For securing dovetailed PP75 housings to various surfaces (sheet metal, PCBs). Available for Standard/CR and Locking Housings.
• Surface Mount: For securing locking PP75 housings to a flat surface.
• Spacers: To separate housings under high power to minimize derating due to heat rise. Recommended for squaring blocks and enabling accessory mounting.
• Guide Housings: Prevents polarity reversal when mating 2-pole PP75 blocks to vertical mini Powerclaw contacts.
• Mounting Clamps: For fastening PP75 housing blocks to a panel.
• Retaining Pins: To prevent stacked PP75 housings from separating.
• PCB Mounting Staples: Reduce strain on solder joints by locking housings to the PCB.
• Reducing Bushings: Allow smaller wires to be used with specific contacts (e.g., 5900-BK, 1307-BK).
