Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the current rating for the C-49855 SB175 connector?
A: The C-49855 SB175 connector is rated for 280 amps UL and 175 amps CSA continuous current. It supports 600V DC maximum voltage, making it suitable for battery and DC power distribution in electric lift truck systems requiring heavy current capacity.
Q: What wire size does the C-49855 accommodate?
A: The C-49855 is designed for 1/0 AWG wire compatibility. This heavy-gauge wire specification matches the 280A UL rating and is standard for main battery power circuits in electric material handling equipment.
Q: Is the C-49855 connector keyed to prevent mismatched mating?
A: Yes, the C-49855 features a keyed design that prevents accidental reverse or incorrect mating. The gray housing includes mechanical keys that ensure proper orientation during connection, reducing risk of electrical damage or improper polarity.
Q: What is the IP64 rating on the C-49855?
A: IP64 environmental protection rating means the connector is dust-tight and protected against water splash from any direction. This makes it suitable for wet environments and material handling operations where moisture exposure is possible.
Q: What material is the C-49855 housing made from?
A: The C-49855 uses robust polycarbonate or PBT/PC composite housing. These materials provide impact resistance, thermal stability, and electrical insulation required for demanding DC power applications in electric lift truck battery systems.
