Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between AN-212 and AN-201 connectors?
A: The AN-212 uses an SB175 housing rated for 175A continuous, while AN-201 uses an SB350 housing rated for 350A. The AN-212 supports #4 AWG to 1/0 AWG cable, while the AN-201 requires 2/0 AWG. Choose the AN-212 for lower-amperage circuits and smaller cable gauges.
Q: What equipment does the AN-212 fit?
A: The AN-212 is an Anderson Power Products SB175 connector compatible with electric lift trucks and material handling equipment using 1/0 AWG battery circuits. This connector is commonly used in Raymond, Yale, Crown, Toyota, and Hyster electric trucks. Verify your OEM part specification matches the AN-212 before ordering.
Q: What is the cross-reference part number for the AN-212?
A: The AN-212 is equivalent to Anderson Power Products OEM part number 941-BK. If your equipment documentation specifies 941-BK, the AN-212 is a direct match. Both part numbers refer to the same SB175 blue genderless connector rated for 175A continuous and 600V AC/DC.
Q: What cable gauges does the AN-212 support?
A: The AN-212 supports #4 AWG through 1/0 AWG stranded copper cable. The connector carries 175A continuous (UL rating) up to 280A maximum burst capacity. Using cable smaller than #4 AWG or larger than 1/0 AWG creates poor contact and overheating risk.
Q: What is the voltage and current rating for the AN-212?
A: The AN-212 is rated for 600V AC/DC maximum per UL 1977 standards. The continuous current rating is 175A (UL 1977) with a maximum burst capacity of 280A. Do not exceed these ratings, as overload creates heat damage and contact degradation.
Q: How does the AN-212 compare to a 1/0 SB350 connector?
A: The AN-212 SB175 connector is designed for lower amperage (175A continuous) and smaller cable (up to 1/0 AWG). An SB350 connector with 1/0 AWG cable would undersupport the 350A housing capability. Choose the AN-212 when your circuit is 175A or less; choose SB350 connectors for 350A circuits requiring 2/0 AWG cable.
