The SPEC Pak Mid Power connector series from Anderson Power Products (APP) offers a rugged and environmentally sealed (IP68) solution for demanding applications. Leveraging APP's core Powerpole flat wiping contact technology, these connectors provide robust power handling up to 80 amps at 600 volts, with options for signal and sequencing. Their highly configurable shells accommodate up to four Powerpole 75 (PP75) contacts and up to eight auxiliary contacts, allowing for flexible design solutions. Designed for harsh environments, SPEC Pak connectors are chemical and UV resistant, featuring stainless steel latches for secure mating and colored Powerpole housings for easy wire identification. They are suitable for wire sizes ranging from 12 to 6 AWG (3.3 to 13.3 mm) and are available in wire-to-wire and wire-to-panel configurations for applications in Marine, Wind Power, Lighting, Transportation, Pumps, Ground Support, Machine Tool, Industrial Automation, Motor, and Solar Power industries.
