Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment is the 77917-004 connector compatible with?
A: The 77917-004 is a yellow SB175 1/0 connector designed for electric lift trucks and material handling equipment that use 1/0 gauge battery cable. Verify your equipment voltage and cable gauge before ordering to confirm compatibility.
Q: What does the 1/0 gauge specification mean for this connector?
A: 1/0 gauge indicates the cable size this connector accepts. It is a heavy-duty battery cable connector used on electric trucks with high-current battery systems. Do not attempt to force this connector onto smaller gauge cables, as it will not make proper electrical contact.
Q: Why is this connector yellow?
A: Yellow coding identifies this as a positive battery terminal connector (positive cable). The color coding prevents incorrect polarity installation during maintenance. Always match yellow connectors to yellow/positive battery terminals.
Q: What maintenance does the 77917-004 require?
A: Inspect the connector regularly for corrosion, loose connections, or damaged terminals. Clean corroded contacts with a dry brush. Tighten any loose cable connections. Replace the connector if terminals are burned, cracked, or severely corroded.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of this connector?
A: SB175 connectors typically last 3 to 7 years depending on usage intensity, maintenance, and environmental conditions. Connectors in wet or corrosive environments may require replacement sooner. Replace immediately if you observe arcing, heat damage, or poor electrical contact.
