Anderson Power 2-8171G4
SBE 320 / SBX 350 Connectors
Product Overview
The SBE 320 and SBX 350 connectors are high-current power connectors designed for robust applications. They offer the flexibility to integrate up to 8 auxiliary power or signal contacts alongside two primary power circuits. Sequencing within auxiliary positions is achievable with four available pin lengths. These connectors feature touch-safe housings and silver-plated wire contacts capable of handling up to 350 mcm (185 mm) wire, supporting low-resistance UL-rated currents up to 550 amps per pole. The auxiliary contacts enable intelligent power switching, CAN and interlock loop circuitry, and power delivery up to 20 amps per pole, with auxiliaries designed for last-mate/first-break operation relative to power contacts.
