The SBE 320 / SBX 350 connectors offer high-current power solutions with the flexibility to integrate auxiliary power and signal contacts. These connectors feature silver-plated wire contacts capable of handling up to 550 Amps for primary power and up to 8 auxiliary contacts for intelligent power switching, CAN bus, and interlock circuitry. The housings are constructed from chemical-resistant PBT (SBE) or PC (SBX) and are designed for touch-safe operation. SBE and SBX connectors of the same voltage color-code cannot be mated, ensuring proper connection. SBX 350 housings do not meet EN1175-1 requirements for industrial trucks.
