Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 6320G5 connector rated for?
A: The Anderson Power Products 6320G5 is an SB350 connector rated for 350 amps continuous current and 600V AC/DC operation. It is designed for heavy-duty industrial applications including electric lift truck and battery power systems. The connector is gray polycarbonate housing with silver-plated copper contacts for corrosion resistance and reliable conductivity.
Q: What wire gauge does the 6320G5 accept?
A: The 6320G5 is rated for 3/0 AWG wire, which is a large-gauge conductor used in high-current battery and main power circuits. The 3/0 AWG size combined with the 350 amp rating makes this connector suitable for main battery interconnects on electric trucks and material handling equipment. Ensure your wire gauge matches 3/0 before attempting connection.
Q: How does mechanical keying on the 6320G5 prevent connection errors?
A: The 6320G5 features mechanical keying that allows the connector to only mate in the correct orientation. This prevents polarity reversal and ensures circuit integrity by blocking mis-mated connections. The keying mechanism is a critical safety feature in battery-powered systems where reverse polarity can damage chargers, controls, or create fire hazard.
Q: Can the 6320G5 be used for both charging and traction circuits?
A: The 6320G5 is rated for 600V AC/DC operation and 350 amps, making it suitable for high-current applications common to both traction (motor) circuits and charging circuits on electric lift trucks. The 350 amp rating matches or exceeds typical main disconnect or charger connections. Verify your application voltage does not exceed 600V and current does not exceed 350 amps.
Q: What maintenance does the 6320G5 connector require?
A: The silver-plated copper contacts resist corrosion and require minimal maintenance. Periodically inspect the connector for loose mating halves, corroded pins, or cracks in the polycarbonate housing. The mechanical keying design is durable; however, if the connector cannot mate smoothly or separates under vibration, the connector or mating half may need replacement.
