The Anderson Power Products PP120 Powerpole connector series is designed for high-current applications, accommodating wires up to 1/0 AWG (50 mm) and handling currents up to 240 amps. These connectors feature stackable housings in multiple colors, low-resistance silver-plated copper contacts for superior electrical performance and durability, and are UL rated for hot plugging up to 60 amps, making them ideal for applications requiring circuit interruption such as battery systems. Reducing bushings are available to accept smaller wires down to 8 AWG (10 mm).
