Low-cost answer for power interconnection
The Powerpole 15/45 is a genderless connector system that provides a simple, low-cost answer for power interconnection.
The connectors meet the accessibility protection requirements of IEC IP20 and UL1977 sec 10.2.
The Powerpole's flat-wiping contact system reduces contact resistance at high current, while the wiping action cleans contact surface during connection/disconnection.
Low-detent contacts are also available for applications requiring low insertion/withdrawal force.
Contacts are available reeled and in loose piece designs to support all product needs from engineering prototypes to low- and high-volume products.
The APP Powerpole 15/45's interchangeable genderless design allows for a quick and easy assembly while minimising the number of parts stocked.
Moulded dovetails secure connectors into keyed assemblies, preventing misconnection with a similar configuration.
Colour modular housings provide visual identification for the proper mating connector.
Powerpole 15/45 connectors are rated 15, 30 and 45A for 600V continuous AC or DC operation.
Wire sizes range from 10 to 20AWG.
