SECTION 1 Technical Reference | GENERAL APPLICATION NOTES | There are common considerations when using our connectors. Additional considerations may apply based on the particular connector being used, the application, and conditions in which it’s being used. This information is intended to provide a basic understanding and is provided for reference only. Connectors should be assembled and used according to the equipment and the manufacturer’s instructions, as well as in compliance with local and international electrical codes. The maximum amperage ratings provided in the specifications are...

Separate curves are shown for #6, #8, #10, and #12 AWG wire. Interpreting the curves, at a 75°C ambient temperature the maximum amperage capability that can be applied continuously to the connector is: 58A for #6, 46A for #8, 37A for #10, and 31A for #12 wire. All data points are based on the maximum operating temperature of the connector, most often 105°C or 221°F. Accordingly if the temperature °C on the Y axis of the chart is at 105°C, there is no amperage capability because the connector housing is already at the maximum operating temperature.

Technical Reference | DIFFERENT CONTACT TECHNOLOGIES | Flat Wiping: • Same contacts on the “male” and “female” side reduce inventory costs and increase ease of assembly. • Low resistance connection has a large conducting surface and a high normal force in comparison to typical pin and socket contacts. • Sacrificial tip confines damage to non-conducting area when mating or breaking under load. • Raised surface on the mating side of the contacts secures the connector in the mated condition, limiting the need for latching on outer housings. • Over wiping design cleans the mating surface when...

A: No. Our contacts generally do not conform to standard crimp barrel dimensions used for lugs, Mil Spec contacts, or other connector manufacturers. The tooling recommended by us must be used to ensure the performance designed by us is achieved. Alternate tooling will void our warranties and can affect safety agency approvals. In some instances Mil Spec tools are approved for crimping contacts with the dies and locators recommended by us. See tooling charts for specific instances, or contact customer service for more information. Technical Reference Q: Will the crimp tool I have for...

SECTION 1 Technical Reference | TOUCH SAFETY & INGRESS PROTECTION (IP) | UL 1977 Section 10.2: Typically required for applications where the connector is external to the end device and operating over 30V or 200A, where wet conditions may be present (600V category). Testing is performed using a probe that mimics a child’s finger. All features of the connector are tested for live parts in the unmated state (no pressure applied). A smaller 3 mm probe is then applied in the mated state to test for live parts. Note that some applications may require the connector to not expose live parts to the...

| PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE | SECTION 1 1. Dirty Connectors When engaged and disengaged, the contact surfaces of Anderson SB® Connectors “over wipe,” thus providing a self cleaning action. To ensure the continued benefit of this feature, clean the contact surfaces and lubricate the connector. Use a “white” lithium grease, which may be obtained from hardware stores and automotive parts suppliers. Technical Reference Damaged connectors, contacts and cables may present hazards, resulting in inefficient battery and charger operation. To avoid these problems, conduct the following maintenance...

Flammability: The measure of a material’s ability to support combustion. Often tested per UL94. Applicator: A semi-automatic termination machine consisting of an upper and lower half that is used to crimp contacts onto wire. Used in conjunction with an electrical/ mechanical press. Flat Wiping: The sliding action which occurs when contacts are mated. Wiping has the effect of removing small amounts of contamination from the contact surfaces, thus establishing better conductivity. AWG: American Wire Gauge. A standard system for designating wire diameters. Amp / Ampere: Measurement increment...
