120A AMP Power Connector Line Debuts March 2003 Issue Published Date: March 01, 2003
The UL-Approved AMP Power Series 120 power connectors are available in either a two-pole battery connector or a single-pole, stackable general purpose connector. Rated for 120A at 600V (ac or dc) when using 2 AWG wire, both connector styles employ a genderless housing design that mates two identical connector halves so only one housing part number is necessary. The connectors use impact resistant, UL 94V-0 polycarbonate housing. The two-pole version is available in blue or gray, while the single-pole is available in blue, black, white, green or red. The single-pole version allows stacking into multi-pole configurations with visual color-coding to match wires. Additional colors or keys are possible. Contacts are silver-plated copper, and designers can select from individual cold-headed contacts or two contacts kitted with a housing. The contacts have a self-cleaning design suitable for up to 10,000 mating cycles. The 120A AMP power connectors target applications such as material handling equipment, electrical vehicles, electric utility vehicles and power supplies. TYCO ELECTRONICS, Harrisburg, PA.
