Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the electrical specifications for the 29-59076 SB350 connector?
A: The 29-59076 is rated for 350 amps continuous at up to 600 volts DC. It uses silver-plated copper contacts and is designed for 2/0 AWG cable. These specifications make it suitable for high-current applications in electric lift trucks and industrial battery equipment.
Q: What cable gauge does the 29-59076 connector accommodate?
A: The 29-59076 is designed specifically for 2/0 AWG cable. This gauge is standard for heavy-duty battery connections in electric lift truck systems where continuous current draw reaches 350 amps or higher.
Q: Is the 29-59076 connector rated for frequent mating cycles?
A: Yes. The 29-59076 is rated for 10,000 mating cycles, meaning it can withstand 10,000 connect-disconnect operations while maintaining electrical integrity. This endurance rating applies when mechanical keying is used to prevent misalignment during mating.
Q: What flame-rating safety standard does the 29-59076 housing meet?
A: The 29-59076 housing is constructed from UL94 V-0 flame-rated polycarbonate. This material rating means the housing will not contribute to fire propagation and is appropriate for industrial environments where safety compliance is required.
Q: What is the mechanical keying feature on the 29-59076?
A: The 29-59076 incorporates mechanical keying that prevents incorrect mating orientation. This design feature protects the connector contacts and connected equipment from damage caused by reversed or misaligned connections.
Q: Why are silver-plated copper contacts used in the 29-59076?
A: Silver plating over copper contact surfaces reduces electrical resistance and improves conductivity at high currents. This contact material choice minimizes heat generation and voltage drop during the 350-amp continuous operation the 29-59076 is designed to deliver.
