Product Description
CONNECTOR (SB350 2/0 BLUE)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment does the SB350 2/0 blue connector fit?
A: This 2/0 gauge connector is designed for high-amperage battery applications on electric lift trucks, including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and other OEM models that use SB350 connectors. The 2/0 gauge handles higher current draw than 1/0 gauges, making it suitable for larger capacity lift trucks and stackers.
Q: What does the blue color designation indicate?
A: The blue color is a standard industry identifier for positive battery connections on SB350 series connectors. Always verify polarity against your equipment manual before installation to avoid reverse-polarity damage to the lift trucks electrical system.
Q: What are the amperage specifications for a 2/0 connector?
A: The 2/0 gauge connector is rated for approximately 150-200 amperes continuous current, depending on ambient temperature and insulation quality. Check your equipment documentation for the exact amperage requirement before ordering.
Q: How do I install this connector on my battery cable?
A: Strip approximately 0.5 inches of insulation from the 2/0 gauge battery cable. Insert the cable into the connector barrel and crimp using a heavy-duty crimping tool rated for 2/0 gauge. Apply a dielectric grease to the connection after crimping to prevent corrosion and moisture infiltration.
Q: When should I replace this connector?
A: Replace the connector if you observe corrosion buildup, loose connections, charring, or resistance to mating and separation. Preventive replacement every 3-5 years is recommended for heavy-use equipment operating in wet or cold storage environments.
Q: Is this connector compatible with SB175 equipment?
A: No. The SB350 2/0 connector is not interchangeable with SB175 1/0 connectors due to different physical dimensions and amperage ratings. Installing an incorrect connector type will result in poor contact or damage to both the connector and the equipments receptacle.
