Tyco Electronics Adds 175A and 180A Connectors to AMP Power Series Connector Lineup Tyco Electronics/AMP 175A AND 180A CONNECTORS Tyco Electronics has introduced the 175A and 180A AMP Power Series Connectors. 175A AMP Power Series Connectors are a two pole, wire-to-wire style connector rated for 175A at 600V (AC or DC) when using 1/0 wire. The connector employs a genderless housing design that allows mating between two identical housings so that only one housing part number is necessary. The contact system uses one contact style rather than a male/female arrangement also simplifying ordering and stocking for customers. A rugged housing design and highly durable contacts make this connector suitable for industrial environments. These connectors can be used in material handling equipment, electrical vehicles, electric utility vehicles, power supplies, power distribution modules, rechargeable batteries and industrial equipment. For applications requiring similar performance in a single pole connector, the 180A AMP Power Series Connector is also available. This connector is rated for 180A at 600V, but retains many of the features and design attributes of the two-pole 175A version. An interlocking feature on the housing allows multiple connectors to be horizontally or vertically stacked. Both connectors use an impact resistant, color-keyed (175A version only), UL 94V-0 polycarbonate housing. Housing colors, which help indicate voltage include yellow, orange, red, gray and blue for the 175A and blue, black, white, red and green for the 180A. Contacts are silver plated copper offering low resistance and superior conductivity. Designers can select from individual cold-headed contacts or two contacts kitted with a housing. The contact design helps to wipe corrosion and debris away between mating surfaces and is rated for up to 10,000 mating cycles. The connectors accept 1/0 to 4 AWG wire. Reducing bushings are available to make the contacts compatible with wire down to 10 AWG.
