Connector SB50 #6 Gray

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the specification and purpose of the 800049534 connector?
A: The 800049534 is an SB50 #6 gray connector used in electric lift truck electrical harnesses. The SB50 designation indicates Anderson PowerPole or equivalent quick-disconnect connectors rated for heavy electrical loads. The #6 gauge rating handles medium to high-current circuits.

Q: Which lift truck systems use SB50 #6 gray connectors?
A: SB50 #6 connectors are commonly found in battery charging circuits, main battery disconnect assemblies, and auxiliary electrical systems on Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and other electric lift truck brands. Gray connectors typically indicate specific voltage or circuit classification within the truck harness.

Q: What is the current rating for an SB50 #6 connector?
A: The #6 gauge rating on SB50 connectors typically handles continuous currents of 50 to 100 amps, depending on mating connector type and environmental conditions. Use this connector only for circuits matching its intended amperage, as undersized connectors overheat and fail.

Q: How do I identify if this connector is damaged and needs replacement?
A: Inspect for burned contact surfaces, corroded pins or sockets, cracked plastic housing, or loose internal connections. If the connector fails to seat properly, contacts feel loose when mated, or you observe sparking during connection, the connector is damaged and must be replaced to avoid electrical faults.

Q: Can the 800049534 be used as a cross-reference or equivalent for other connector part numbers?
A: The 800049534 is an SB50 #6 gray connector. Equivalent Anderson PowerPole connectors from the same product line will fit. However, different connector types or colors may indicate different voltage or circuit classifications. Always verify the original equipment specification before using an equivalent part.
