Connector Series uses rugged and environmentally sealed (IP68) shells to protect industry leading APP
®
Powerpole
®
contacts and housing. Customer configured Solar SPEC Pak
®
is designed specifically to meet the requirements of the photovoltaic industry
conforming to NEC 2008 requirements for first make/last break ground and a locking feature that require a tool to unlock. It’s also the first multipole
connector to conform to UL 6703A. The adaptive design lends itself towards use in other markets including wind power, fuel cells, mass transporta-
tion, off-road vehicles, agricultural equipment, oil and petro chemical exploration and many more.
The core APP
®
Powerpole
®
technology within the SPEC Pak
®
is proven reliable and cost effective. The broad selection of touch safe, color-coded
Powerpole
®
housings with power, signal and ground contacts accept a broad range of wire gauges, #24 to #10 AWG (0.25 to 4.0 mm²), giving users
thousands of flexible design solutions in a single interconnect.
