IP68 Environmental Sealed Anderson Power PM16S1416S32 Connector for Industrial Automation and Marine
Product Overview
The SPEC Pak Mid Power connector is a rugged, environmentally sealed (IP68) interconnect solution designed for demanding applications in harsh environments. It utilizes Anderson Power Products' (APP) core Powerpole flat wiping contact technology, offering high power handling capabilities up to 80 amps at 600 volts, with the option for signal and sequencing through auxiliary contacts. The highly configurable shells accept up to four Powerpole 75 (PP75) power contacts and up to 8 auxiliary contacts, providing flexible design solutions. Its robust construction includes chemical and UV resistant shells, stainless steel latches for secure mating, and sealing glands to ensure IP68 environmental sealing. The color-coded Powerpole housings simplify assembly by matching wire colors. Suitable for wire sizes ranging from 12 to 6 AWG [3.3 to 13.3 mm], the SPEC Pak Mid Power is ideal for applications in Marine, Wind Power, Lighting, Transportation, Pumps, Ground Support, Machine Tool, Industrial Automation, Motor, and Solar Power sectors.
