Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the electrical ratings of the SB175 forklift battery connector?
A: The 800124888 SB175 connector is rated for 175A continuous duty at 600V DC maximum. This is a lower current rating than the SB350 series, making it suitable for smaller electric lift trucks, pallet jacks, and battery-powered material handling equipment. The voltage rating supports standard 36V, 48V, 80V, and similar DC battery systems used in the industry.
Q: What cable size does the SB175 orange keyed connector use?
A: The SB175 accepts 1/0 AWG cable. The orange keying is a mechanical alignment feature that prevents incorrect mating with incompatible connectors. The 1/0 AWG designation is smaller than 2/0 or 3/0 sizes, consistent with the lower 175A current rating. Do not use oversized cable with this connector, as improper fit can cause loose connections and arcing.
Q: What is the contact material and housing composition of the 800124888?
A: The SB175 features silver-plated high-conductivity contact surfaces to minimize electrical resistance and heat generation. The housing is high-strength injection-molded polycarbonate with UL94 V-0 flammability rating, meaning it is flame-resistant and will not propagate fire. This construction ensures safe, reliable DC power connections in forklift and pallet jack applications.
Q: What equipment types use the SB175 orange keyed battery connector?
A: The 800124888 SB175 is standard on most electric pallet jacks and smaller electric lift trucks with lower current draw. It is also used on battery charger connections and DC power systems for material handling equipment. Verify your equipment OEM part number before ordering to ensure compatibility. The orange key prevents accidental connection to wrong circuits.
Q: Does the SB175 use crimp termination and is it sealed?
A: The SB175 uses crimp termination for cable connection, meaning the cable is crimped directly to contact pins rather than soldered. The polycarbonate housing provides environmental protection. For wet environments or cold storage, verify that connector contacts remain clean and dry to prevent corrosion and poor electrical contact.
