What's Included?
Metal contacts to crimp onto 16-20 gauge wire. Sold as a 100 quantity package. Does not include colored plastic housings (sold separately).
15, 30 & 45 amp Powerpole connectors will mate with each other
The 15, 30 & 45 amp contacts all use the same 1327 series plastic housings. Therefore, they will all connect to each other. The difference between the contacts is the size of the receiving barrel that accepts the various wire sizes.
Powerpole connectors are both genderless
Powerpole connectors are genderless, meaning the supply and load connectors are the same. Since there are no male or female parts, all Powerpole connectors mate with themselves.
High current rating, low resistance
The size of the flat contact area is actually the same for all 15, 30 & 45 amp contacts. Powerpole connectors will safely handle higher loads or surges, please read the data sheet for additional information.
The contacts are made of highly conductive silver-plated copper for minimal contact resistance at high currents. The average contact resistance is 600 micro-ohms.
Flat wiping contact system
Allows for minimal contact resistance at high current. Self-wiping action cleans contact surfaces during connection/disconnection. Contacts are rated at 10,000 no-load connect/disconnect cycles.
Stainless steel spring
Powerpole connectors use a stainless-steel spring which applies 25 lbs. of pressure to hold the contacts firmly together and maintain constant contact. Cheaper connectors simply depend upon soft copper that eventually spreads apart and becomes loose.
