Versatile Anderson Power SBS50GRA connector suitable for DC voltages exceeding 30 volts applications
Anderson SBS Connectors
Product Overview
The patented Anderson SBS connector family offers high power in a compact, ergonomic housing with protection against accidental contact with live circuits, crucial for DC voltages exceeding 30 volts. Available in wire-to-wire and wire-to-board configurations, power contacts are rated up to 110 amps. The SBS 75X model includes up to 4 mate-last break-first auxiliary power/signal contacts rated up to 20 amps, while the SBS 75G features a third first-mate last-break ground or power contact. All contact positions are rated for circuit interruption (hot plugging). Key features include a touch-safe interface compliant with IEC 60950, wire-to-wire and wire-to-board configurations, and integrated ground or auxiliary positions within a one-piece housing for comprehensive connection needs in a compact design.
