Soanar SBS75G 3-pole connector

Soanar has added to the Anderson Power Products SBS connector family with the release of the 3-pole SBS75G connector.

The SBS connector family features PCB-to-wire and wire-to-wire solutions for up to 110 A. Low-resistance, silver-plated contacts for wire sizes from #6 AWG (16 mm²) to 16 AWG (1.5 mm²) are held inside compact and ergonomic housings with a touch-safe interface. SBS50 has two power positions, while the SBS75X also has 4 auxiliary power/signal positions. The SBS75G connector is a 3-pole connector with a first-mate/last-break centre position, UL rated for ground or power.

The connector is available as a genderless wire housing or a right-angle PCB connector. The device has a mating interface that is touch safe in all three positions, providing protection to the user by eliminating finger contact with live circuits per IEC60950. The feature is required by UL for use in systems operating above 30 V, where risk of shock can be health threatening in the presence of moisture. The genderless design allows both sides of the connection to be touch safe, which is valuable in applications involving batteries, capacitors, or cordsets functioning as a jumper.
