AMP Power Series connectors provide a durable, quick connect/disconnect means to transmit "power" levels of current and voltage (15-275 A, 600 V AC/DC). This product family is primarily comprised of single-pole and 2-pole (battery) connector housings, crimp snap-in contacts and accessories. Housings are offered in various colors. Two pole housings have different polarization configurations. The different colors identify a different keying configuration and only like color housings will mate. This feature can be used to help identify different voltage ratings. Contacts are either cold-headed or stamped and formed, depending upon the connector series. AMP power series connectors are divided into eight series, based upon approximate current-carrying capability.

Key Features

• Single-pole and 2-pole (battery) quick connect/disconnect connectors
• 8 series based upon approximate current carrying capability: 15 ampere to 275 ampere rated
• Voltage rating: 600v AC/DC
• Hermaphroditic (genderless) housings and contacts reduce inventory
• Modular, single-pole housings are stackable in four directions
• Polarity (+ and -) molded into 2-pole housings promotes proper wiring
• Mechanical keys help prevent two different color housings from mating together
• Stamped and formed, open barrel contacts (6 AWG - 20 AWG) on reels for automatic and semi-automatic termination
• Loose piece, cold-headed contacts (6 AWG - 300 MCM) for manual termination

Applications:

• AC/DC power supplies and charging systems
• Rechargeable batteries
• Material handling equipment (i.e. forklifts)
