Connector ready for high-voltage dc electronics

By Paul Dvorak | March 28, 2010

Rugged polycarbonate housings on the Anderson Saf-D-Grid connectors are UL94 V-0 rated. Plug power cords are over-molded to provide strain relief for mating and un-mating.

The Saf-D-Grid connector system is ready for use in the direct connection of dc electronic devices to dc-micro grids. This connector, from Anderson Power Products, is said to work well in dc servers or any device connecting directly to renewable energy sources such as solar or wind 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 fits standard panel cut-outs for IEC320 C14 outlets while providing touch-safe connections up to 20 A at 600 Vdc. The connectors are hot-plug rated to 700A in-rush current at 400 V and shield users 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.
