The SPEC Pak Mid Power is a rugged, environmentally sealed (IP68) connector system designed for demanding applications in Marine, Wind Power, Lighting, Transportation, Pumps, Ground Support, Machine Tool, Industrial Automation, Motor, and Solar Power sectors. It utilizes APP's Powerpole flat wiping contact technology, offering high power handling capabilities up to 80 amps at 600 volts, with options for signal and sequencing via auxiliary contacts. The highly configurable shells accept up to four Powerpole 75 (PP75) contacts and up to 8 auxiliary contacts, providing flexible design solutions. Easy assembly is facilitated by color-coded Powerpole housings that match wire colors, and the connectors accommodate wire sizes from 12 to 6 AWG [3.3 to 13.3 mm].
