Durable Wire to Wire Connector Anderson Power ASMFP30-1X2-KB Featuring High Power Density and Safety
Powerpole PP15-45 Series Connectors
Product Overview
The Powerpole PP15-45 series represents the smallest Powerpole housings, designed for versatile wire-to-wire or wire-to-board applications. These connectors accommodate wire sizes from #20 AWG (0.75 mm) to #10 (6 mm), offering power capabilities of up to 55 amps per pole. Key features include finger-proof housings for enhanced safety against accidental contact with live circuits and the option for first-mate last-break ground connectors. The series provides high power density in a compact footprint and allows for the use of both wire and PCB contacts within the same housings.
