Anderson Power 6802G1
Product Overview
The Anderson Power Products (APP) Powerpole PP180 connector series offers robust, high-current interconnect solutions designed for demanding applications. These connectors are the largest in the Powerpole series, capable of accommodating wire sizes up to 3/0 AWG (70 mm) and handling currents up to 350 amps. Featuring low-resistance, silver-plated copper contacts for superior conductivity and durability, the PP180 series is ideal for power distribution, battery systems, and applications requiring hot-swappable quick disconnects. Color-coded housings minimize user confusion and prevent cross-mating of circuits. Busbar contacts are available for power inputs and takeoffs, facilitating easy integration into busbar systems. The PP180 connectors are UL rated for hot plugging up to 75 amps, making them suitable for applications where interrupting circuits is necessary. They meet rigorous IEC standards for safety, environmental resistance, and mechanical strength.
