Anderson Power Offers SPEC PAK Connector Series

November 21, 2010 by Jeff Shepard

Anderson Power Products (APP) offers the SPEC Pak™ (Sealed Power For Environmental Connections) connector series, designed for use wherever a rugged or waterproof high power, signal and ground interconnect solution is required. The seal on the SPEC Pak connector shell is rated as IP 68, protecting the Powerpole® contacts and housings enclosed with the shell from dust and water.

The customer-configured SPEC Pak connectors are well suited for use in mass transportation, off-road vehicles, factory automation, oil and petro-chemical exploration, solar and agricultural equipment applications, among others. The customer-configured SPEC Pak user benefits include excellent size to power performance ratio, ease of assembly, and practically endless custom configurations for the most demanding applications.

The core technology within the SPEC Pak is the Powerpole, a proven reliable and cost-effective technology that accommodates wire ranging from #24 to #10 American Wire Gauge (AWG) or 0.25 to 4 mm². Housed within a finger proof or standard housing, Powerpole contacts are capable of power, ground as well as signal.

Powerpole’s broad selection of standard and finger proof housings meet UL1977, Section 10.2, and the color-coded housings offer versatility for design flexibility. The 4-position SPEC Pak shell handles up to 25A when fully loaded with #10 AWG, and the 6-position SPEC Pak shell handles up to 45A. The SPEC Pak panel mount receptacle utilizes an industry standard panel cut-out, 26482/5015 shell (size 20) for the 4-position and shell (size 24) for the 6-position.

With decades of proven reliability at cost effective prices, Powerpoles offer extensive options for designers of power, signal and ground connectors. When Powerpoles are combined within the SPEC Pak, the result is a powerful environmental interconnect for use in a vast array of demanding applications.
