UL approved Anderson Power PCL01 power clip connector suitable for hot plug current interruption up to 200 amps
Product Overview
The Anderson Power Products Power Clip Connector Series is engineered for low-cost, high-performance interconnections between perpendicular power bus bars. Its design facilitates blind mating, making it ideal for dense power packaging in applications like "N+1" rectifier, power supply, and switching power supply systems. The Power Clip features a high-performance contact that ensures low voltage drop and superior amperage carrying capability. It is designed to accept solid .125 inches or 3mm thick nickel or gold-plated rectangular bus bar tabs, eliminating the need for a separate mating connector. The product is recognized to UL1977 and CSA standards, rated for up to 300 amps continuous service, and UL approved for hot plug current interruption of 100A at 48V and 200A at 42V with a gold-plated bus bar tab.
