Higher voltage DC connector

Anderson Power Products (APP) introduces the Saf-D-Grid 300, designed for single-phase AC applications requiring higher voltages, smaller size, and expanded current carrying capability. Saf-D-Grid 300 builds upon the performance of the 400V DC Saf-D-Grid connector, using the same silver-plated, pure copper contact system and durable thermoplastic insulators. Configurations allow up to 30A and 300V within the same panel cutout as IEC 60320 C13 / C14 connectors.
 
Offerings feature separate mechanical keys for 10A and 20A configurations which prevent accidental overloading of wires not rated to carry the current. The maximum operating temperature of 80ËšC makes Saf-D-Grid ideal for power supplies where the hot exhaust is directed onto the power inlet connector. The receptacle housing is constructed of high temperature glass-filled nylon allowing it to operate in temperatures of up to 120ËšC.
 
Both the plug and receptacle side are touch-safe to maximize operator safety at hazardous voltages. Universal touch safety also enables the use of the same receptacle for both power inlet and outlet connections. The integral latch on the plug housing prevents accidental disconnect of power. An optional ground-tied shield is available to minimize the EMI profile of power supplies.
