Durable Anderson Power 5916G4-BK Connector Featuring Powerpole Technology for Marine and Automation
Product Overview
The SPEC Pak Mid Power connector is a rugged, environmentally sealed (IP68) interconnect solution designed for demanding applications in marine, wind power, lighting, transportation, pumps, ground support, machine tool, industrial automation, motor, and solar power industries. Leveraging APP's Powerpole flat wiping contact technology, it offers high power handling capabilities up to 80 amps at 600 volts, with options for signal and sequencing through auxiliary contacts. Its highly configurable shells accept up to four Powerpole 75 (PP75) contacts and up to 8 auxiliary contacts, providing flexible design solutions. The connector features colored Powerpole housings for easy wire matching, accommodates wire sizes from 12 to 6 AWG (3.3 to 13.3 mm), and includes stainless steel latches to prevent accidental un-mating. The robust construction ensures durability in harsh environments.
