Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the current rating of the 20984 SB175 connector?
A: The 20984 is rated for 280 amps continuous current at 600V AC/DC when used as a wire-to-wire connection with 1/0 AWG cable. When used with a busbar configuration, the continuous rating is 200 amps. This rating makes it suitable for high-power battery and charging circuits on electric lift trucks.
Q: What wire sizes does the 20984 connector accept?
A: The 20984 accepts wire sizes from number 12 AWG through 1/0 AWG. The gray housing is designed specifically for 1/0 AWG cables commonly used in industrial lift truck battery systems and power distribution.
Q: What is the contact material and mating type of the 20984 connector?
A: The 20984 features silver-plated copper contacts for superior conductivity and corrosion resistance. The connector uses a genderless mating design, meaning either connector half can mate with the other. This design is based on the industry-standard Anderson Power Products format.
Q: What does part number cross-reference mean for the 20984?
A: The 20984 supersedes older part numbers P940-BK and 940-BK. If your equipment documentation references P940-BK or 940-BK, the 20984 is the current equivalent connector. A chemical-resistant version is also available for harsh environments.
Q: What is the spring material used in the 20984 connector?
A: The 20984 uses a stainless steel spring retention system to secure connections and ensure positive contact pressure. Stainless steel springs resist corrosion and maintain clamping force over extended use in industrial environments.
