IP68 rated Anderson Power PM16S1620S32 connector designed for wind power lighting and transportation sectors
Product Overview
The SPEC Pak Mid Power connector is a rugged, environmentally sealed (IP68) interconnect solution designed for harsh environments. It utilizes Anderson Power Products' (APP) Powerpole flat wiping contact technology, offering robust power handling up to 80 amps at 600 volts, with the added capability for signal and sequencing through auxiliary contacts. Its highly configurable shells accept up to four Powerpole 75 (PP75) power contacts and up to eight auxiliary contacts. The connector is ideal for applications in Marine, Wind Power, Lighting, Transportation, Pumps, Ground Support, Machine Tool, Industrial Automation, Motor, and Solar Power sectors. Easy assembly is facilitated by color-coded Powerpole housings that can match wire colors, and it accommodates wire sizes from 12 to 6 AWG (3.3 to 13.3 mm).
