CONNECTOR (SB175 1/0 YELLOW)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the A-8268-4 connector specification?
A: The A-8268-4 is an SB175 connector rated for 1/0 gauge cable in yellow. This connector matches the specification of the A-8268-2 but with yellow color coding instead of blue. Yellow typically indicates a different polarity or circuit branch in multi-battery systems.
Q: When would I need the yellow A-8268-4 versus the blue A-8268-2?
A: Both are SB175 1/0 connectors; the color difference indicates circuit role or polarity. Use yellow (A-8268-4) where your equipment specifies yellow terminations. Check your battery harness diagram to determine which color connectors your specific equipment requires.
Q: Are A-8268-2 and A-8268-4 interchangeable?
A: Both connectors have identical specifications (SB175, 1/0 gauge) and will physically fit the same cable lugs and terminals. However, color coding in electrical systems typically indicates circuit function, so verify your equipment wiring diagram before substituting one connector for the other.
Q: What is the material composition of the A-8268-4?
A: The A-8268-4 yellow SB175 connector is constructed from brass or copper alloy with plating to resist corrosion. The 1/0 gauge lug is designed to accommodate the current demands of lift truck battery systems without excessive resistance or heat generation.
Q: What maintenance does the A-8268-4 require?
A: Keep battery connections clean and dry. Corrosion can develop at contact surfaces, reducing electrical conductivity. Inspect periodically for oxidation, looseness, or intermittent continuity. Replace if contact surfaces show severe oxidation or if connection resistance increases.
