Robust Anderson Power 5916-BK connector with stainless steel latches and UL 764C F1 weatherability rating
Product Overview
The SPEC Pak Mid Power connector is a rugged, environmentally sealed (IP68) interconnect solution designed for demanding applications. Leveraging Anderson Power Products' (APP) Powerpole flat wiping contact technology, it offers robust power handling up to 80 amps at 600 volts, with integrated signal and sequencing capabilities. Its highly configurable shells can accommodate up to four Powerpole 75 (PP75) power contacts and up to eight auxiliary contacts, providing flexible design solutions. The connector is ideal for harsh environments and applications including Marine, Wind Power, Lighting, Transportation, Pumps, Ground Support, Machine Tool, Industrial Automation, Motor, and Solar Power. Assembly is simplified with color-coded Powerpole housings that match wire colors, and it accepts wire sizes from 12 to 6 AWG (3.3 to 13.3 mm).
