Anderson Power Products (APP) has launched the Saf-D-Grid connector system for use in the direct connection of DC electronic devices to a DC micro-grid. This connector system is ideal for use in DC servers or any device connecting directly to renewable energy sources, such as for wind or solar power. The Saf-D-Grid connector system meets international safety requirements for low-voltage applications to 400 VDC, including UL950 and IEC60950. The low-profile panel receptacle is designed to fit the standard panel cut-out for IEC320 C14 outlets, while providing touch-safe connections up to 20 amperes at 600 VDC. The connectors are hot plug rated up to 700A in-rush current at 400 volts, and shield the user from arc flash during un-mating. Additional safety features include a first mate, last-break contact to provide ground, and an integral latch to prevent connectors from accidental un-mating. The rugged polycarbonate housings are UL94 V-0 rated and plug power cords, over-molded to provide strain relief during mating and un-mating, and they’re available in two-, three-, and five-meter lengths in single and double ended styles.
