Power contacts rated 110 amps Anderson Power SBS50BLU-BK compact connector with touch safe interface
Anderson SBS Connectors
Product Overview
The patented Anderson SBS connector family is designed for high power applications, offering a compact and ergonomic housing with protection against accidental contact with live circuits. This is crucial in applications where DC voltages exceed 30 volts. Available in wire-to-wire and wire-to-board configurations, SBS connectors provide power contacts rated up to 110 amps. The SBS 75X model features up to 4 mate-last break-first auxiliary power/signal contacts rated up to 20 amps, while the SBS 75G includes a third first-mate last-break ground or power contact. All contact positions are rated for circuit interruption (hot plugging) and offer a touch-safe interface, minimizing contact with live circuits per IEC 60950. This versatility allows a single connector to meet multiple connection requirements within one compact housing.
