This versatile connector series invented by Anderson Power Products meets a wide range of power connection needs. The four housing sizes in the Powerpole® product family can carry a wide range of amperage and wire sizes in the most compact footprint. For currents up to 350A and from wire sizes of #20 AWG (0.75 mm²) to 3/0 (70 mm²). Powerpole can handle them all! A wide range of colored housing options can be stacked together to create a proven reliable custom connector. These housings can be used with different contacts to create wire-to-wire, wire-to board, or wire-to-busbar connections. The Powerpole connector combines high quality materials with a cost-effective and innovative design for powerful versatility.
Powerpole pin & socket series connector, designed as ground terminal are for make-first/break-last connections. They provide 600 Volts continuous, AC or DC operation. Wire sizes range from #14 to #16 AWG (2.1 to 1.3 mm²). Can be assembled with standard Powerpole PP15/45 series.
Powerpole pin & socket series connector, designed as ground terminal are for make first/break-last connections. They provide 600 Volts continuous, AC or DC operation This series accommodates #10 AWG (5.3 mm²). Can be assembled with standard Powerpole PP15 series.
PP15/45 series are the smallest Powerpole housings. They can be used for wire-to-wire or wire-to-board applications. Wire sizes from #20 AWG (0.75 mm²) to #10 (6 mm²) offer power capabilities up to 55 amps per pole. Finger proof housings and the ability to incorporate first-mate last-break ground connectors enhance the capabilities of this Powerpole series. Please don’t forget to check our Powerpole Pak connector series for the blindmate capabilities.
PP75 series Powerpole housings can be used for wire-to-wire, wire-to-board, and wire-to-busbar applications. Wire sizes from #16 AWG (1.3 mm²) to #6 (13.3 mm²) offer power capabilities up to 120 amps per pole. Locking housings offer the capability to secure Powerpole housings to each other and to mounting pads.
PP120 series Powerpole housings are designed to accommodate up to 1/0 (50 mm²) wires and handle high currents up to 240 amps. Reducing bushings allow PP120 to accept down to #8 (10 mm²) wires. Multiple colors of stackable housings combine with low resistance flat wiping technology to offer powerful connection capability.
PP180 are the largest of the Powerpole series housings. They are designed to accommodate up to 3/0 (70 mm²) wires and handle high currents up to 350 amps. Busbar contacts are also
available for power inputs and takeoffs. Color-coded housings minimize user confusion and the potential of cross mating circuits.
Powerpole Pak connector shells enclose stacked groupings of PP15-45 sized housings in a durable black shell for a finished connector appearance and additional features. Inline, panel mount, and blindmate configurations are available. Plug shells offer the option of integral latches and strain relief to help secure your connection.
The Powerpole “T” Pak connector is a 2 way electrical splitter that splits electrical current from one incoming circuit into two outgoing circuits. The standard configuration is pre-wired for AC 3 phase, 3 wire plus ground configurations. The “T” Pak can also be used for AC single phase plus ground or DC 2 wire plus ground applications by not using either the red or white power positions. “T” Pak is pre-wired from the factory allowing plug and play field installation of modular office and industrial equipment. UL recognition up to 20 amps and 600 volts is achieved when mating Powerpole Pak plugs with #12 AWG wire.
Can mate in line with other plug shells with or without latches, or mate to a panel mount receptacle. For use with Powerpole wire connectors only. Cable Clamp and Hardware Pak or Retaining Pins must be ordered separately.

2X3 Powerpole Pak offers an improved ergonomic shell for easier latch operation as well as a plastic, non-conductive strain relief. The strain relief can accommodate up to a 6 conductor #10 AWG cable. Can mate to a panel mount receptacle. For use with Powerpole wire connectors only. Cable Clamp and Hardware Pak or Retaining Pins must be ordered separately.
Mate to plug shells with or without latches, or mate to another panel mount receptacle to create a bulkhead to bulkhead connection. For use with Powerpole wire or PCB connectors.
