Half a century of power interconnection
In honour of the golden anniversary of the Type SB connector, this article looks back at some of the product inventions and innovations produced by APP over the last 50 years.
APP's versatile Power Drawer connectors are UL verified for crossmating with competing products, offering the designer and user development and sourcing options.
The new 35A Power Drawer connectors can be configured with up to eight 16 AWG contacts and twenty-one 20 AWG contacts or a combination of four 16 AWG contacts, four 12 AWG contacts and twenty-one 20 AWG contacts.
Pin and socket contacts are available for both connectors with crimp, solder cup or printed circuit board termination.
The connector's pin contacts can also be specified for first-mate and last-mate connection.
This allows the electronic system to be grounded and mating electronically verified before the power circuits are energised.
Anderson Power Products also introduces "true hot plug" contacts for the Power Drawer connector family.
The 12 AWG contacts are rated for disconnect interruption up to 25A.
These "hot plug" contacts are available for both the 35 and 75A Power Drawer connector families.
The APP Power Drawer connectors also feature integral guide pins, which correct misalignment during blind mating.
Additionally, the connector offers an optional floating mount, reducing the fatigue stress on the connector during blind mating.
