Anderson Power Products®, a leader in high-power interconnect solutions, announces an addition to the SB® connector family with the release of their new 2 pole SB® 2/0 connector. The SB® 2/0 offers larger wire capability and increased current carrying capability over the similar sized SB® 175 connector. The proven SB® connector family is based on the original "Storage Battery" connector that pioneered flat wiping contact technology over a half century ago. Two to three positions in a genderless, color-coded, mechanically-keyed housing are suitable for a wide array of power connection applications up to 450 amps and 600V. Low resistance silver plated contacts for wire sizes from 300 mcm (152 mm²) to 16 AWG (1.3 mm²) are held inside rugged non-conductive plastic housings. SB® 2/0 offers the same external dimensions as the popular SB® 175 connector, but is designed to fit contacts for 2/0 AWG or 70 mm² wires. These modifications allow the new SB® 2/0 to offer up to 340 amps of power in the same form factor of the SB® 175 connector that is limited to 280 amps. Larger wire sizes also help to minimize voltage drop over extended cable lengths. Anderson Power Products
