power connectors including Anderson Power 6350 with multiple auxiliary contacts and chemically resistant housing materials
SBE320 / SBX350 Connectors
Product Overview
The SBE320 and SBX350 connectors offer robust power and signal connectivity solutions, designed for high-current applications. These connectors integrate up to 8 auxiliary power/signal contacts alongside two primary power circuits, enabling intelligent power switching, CAN bus, and interlock loop circuitry. They feature touch-safe housings, silver-plated wire contacts supporting up to 350 mcm (185 mm) for low-resistance UL-rated currents up to 550 amps per pole, and durable housings rated for up to 10,000 mating cycles. The auxiliary contacts are designed for last-mate/first-break functionality relative to the power contacts.
