Anderson Power 6800G3
Product Overview
The Powerpole PP180 connector series represents the largest housing in the Powerpole line, engineered to accommodate wires up to 3/0 AWG (70 mm) and handle high currents up to 350 amps. These connectors feature color-coded housings to prevent user confusion and cross-mating of circuits. They are ideal for high-current applications, including battery systems and power distribution, offering options for both wire and busbar contacts. The PP180 series is designed for durability, with silver-plated copper contacts rated for up to 10,000 mating cycles, and is UL rated for hot plugging up to 75 amps.
