SBE and SBX connectors build on the capability of the SB^® connectors that handle two primary power contacts with the capacity to have up to 8 auxiliary power / signal contacts. The centers of the connector housing’s feature a location for either: two PP15-45 housings and contacts, an innovative 1×4 auxiliary accessory, or two PPMX housings that can accommodate up to 8 aux contacts. In addition, the housings meet IEC 60950 & IEC60529 touch safe requirements.

Sequencing within auxiliary positions is possible using the 4 pin lengths available in the 1×4 auxiliary accessory however the auxiliary contacts mate last / un-mate first in relationship to the power contacts. While SBE and SBX housings offer similar capabilities, the SBE connector housings are molded from a chemical resistant PBT/PC blend resin allowing them to meet EN1175:2020 requirement and are tested to EN1175:2020 standards. SBX are molded from a rugged PC resin that is more impact resistant and are tested to UL/CSA requirements.

SBE^® SBO^® SBX^® Features and Benefits

• Silver plated wire contacts: Allows low resistance enabling UL rated currents up to 550 amps per pole
• Up to 8 last-mate / first-break auxiliaries: Enables intelligent power switching, CAN and interlock loop circuitry, as well as power up to 20 amps per pole
• Durable housings and contacts: Like all Multipole connectors, the silver plated power contacts and plastic housings are rated up to 10,000 mating cycles
• Touch safe interfaces: Minimizes potential contact with live circuits per IEC 60950 & IEC 60529
• Color-coded mechanical voltage keys: Easy way to identify circuits and protect against cross mating
