Product Overview
The Powerpole PP30 Pin & Socket series connector is designed for make-first/break-last connections, ensuring safety and system integrity. These connectors are specifically engineered for use as ground terminals and feature a green housing to clearly indicate the ground connection. The molded-in dovetail feature allows for interlocking multiple housings into keyed configurations, preventing misconnections and enabling customized project-specific arrangements. Powerpole connectors offer continuous 600 Volt AC or DC operation and accommodate 10 AWG (5.3 mm) wire sizes, with a 30-amp rating.
