Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What wire gauge does the 150120140 contact set accept?
A: The 150120140 is designed for AWG #6 wire. This contact set is a two-pole genderless connector rated for 50A hot-plugging and up to 120A continuous current, making it suitable for battery and DC distribution systems on electric lift trucks.
Q: What is the maximum voltage rating for SKU 150120140?
A: The 150120140 contact set has a maximum voltage rating of 600VDC. This rating supports industrial lift truck power distribution applications requiring robust DC isolation.
Q: What contact materials are used in the 150120140 connector?
A: The 150120140 features silver or tin-plated copper contacts housed in polycarbonate. The polycarbonate housing provides IP64 environmental protection, meaning it resists dust and water splash, which is essential for warehouse and dock environments.
Q: Is the 150120140 compatible with hot-plugging applications?
A: Yes, the 150120140 is rated for 50A hot-plugging, allowing safe connection and disconnection under load. However, continuous current operation is rated up to 120A. For charging applications where the connector remains energized during plug-in, verify your power distribution circuit matches the 50A hot-plug specification.
Q: What equipment types does the SB50A contact set work with?
A: The 150120140 (OEM part number SB50A) is designed for electric lift trucks requiring battery and DC distribution connectors. Before ordering, confirm your equipment uses a two-pole genderless connector rated for 600VDC and AWG #6 wire.
Q: Why does the 150120140 specify both 50A and 120A current ratings?
A: The 150120140 has two current ratings because hot-plugging (connecting under load) is limited to 50A to reduce arcing and contact wear. Once the connector is fully seated and energized, continuous current can reach 120A. This is standard for battery distribution connectors on electric trucks where the connection may be made while equipment is operating.
