Product Description
CONNECTOR (SB350 2/0 GRAY)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What wire gauge does the SB350 2/0 gray connector accept?
A: The SB350 2/0 gray connector is rated for 2/0 AWG (approximately 67 square millimeter) copper or aluminum wire. This is a heavy-gauge connector for large battery cable assemblies. The SB350 family handles higher amperage than the SB175, so verify your cable gauge is 2/0 before ordering.
Q: What is the amperage rating for SKU 220101116?
A: The SB350 connector family is rated for approximately 350 amperes at 12 to 48 volts DC. This higher amperage capacity makes it suitable for main battery interconnects on larger electric lift trucks or parallel battery configurations. Confirm your circuit amperage does not exceed 350 amps continuous.
Q: What does the gray color indicate for the SB350 2/0 connector?
A: Gray typically indicates a ground, return, or neutral circuit in material handling equipment. Some manufacturers use gray for auxiliary battery interconnects or parallel battery bank connections. Always verify the circuit assignment in your equipment schematic before installation.
Q: Can I substitute an SB175 connector where the schematic calls for SB350?
A: No. The SB175 is rated for 175 amps; the SB350 is rated for 350 amps. Substituting a lower-amperage connector on a high-current circuit can cause the connector to overheat, melt, or arc, creating fire risk. Always use the connector amperage rating specified in your equipment technical manual.
Q: What is the service life of SB350 connectors, and how are they maintained?
A: SB350 connectors typically last 5 to 10 years depending on vibration, moisture, and electrical load. Periodically inspect connections for corrosion, looseness, or discoloration. Loose connections increase resistance and heat generation, accelerating connector failure. Tighten set screws and replace corroded terminals as needed.
