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.
These versatile Power Drawer connectors are used on N+1 power supply and rectifier systems for server, telecommunications and network applications.
APP's durable connectors are UL recognised and are able to mate with competitive products, offering the designer and user further development and sourcing options.
APP's 35A Power Drawer connectors can be configured with up to eight 12AWG power contacts, eight 16AWG power contacts or a combination of four 16AWG power contacts, four 12AWG power contacts and twenty-one 20AWG signal contacts.
APP's 75A Power Drawer connectors can be configured with up to four 8AWG power contacts, nine 12AWG power contacts and twenty four 20AWG signal contacts.
Float mount and printed circuit board mount versions are available for both connectors.
Pin and socket contacts are available for both connectors with crimp, solder cup or printed circuit board termination.
In addition, the connector's pin contacts can be specified for first-mate and last-mate connection, allowing the electronic system to be grounded and mating electronically verified before the power circuits are energised.
Anderson Power Products is also offering "true hot plug" contacts to accompany its Power Drawer connector family.
The 12AWG 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.
Designed to correct misalignment during blind mating, APP's Power Drawer connectors feature integral guide pins, with an optional floating mount used to reduce fatigue stress on the connector during blind mating.
