Powerpole® Connectors
PP120 - Up to 240 Amps

POWERPOLE® PP120

PP120 series Powerpole® housings are designed toaccommodate up to 1/0 AWG (50 mm²) wires andhandle high currents up to 240 amps. Reducingbushings allow PP120 to accept down to 8 AWG(10 mm²) wires. Multiple colors of stackable housings
combine with low resistance flat wiping technology tooffer powerful connection capability.
• Large Wire Range Accommodates up to1/0 (50 mm²) Wire
Reducing bushings allow as small as 8 (10 mm²) wire to be used• Low Resistance Silver Plated Copper ContactsAllows currents up to 240 amps

• UL Rated for Hot Plugging up to 60 Amps

PP120 ORDERING INFORMATIONGreat for battery or other applications where the ability tointerrupt circuits is required

PP120 Housings		

The second to largest Powerpole® housing can be used withwire contacts for up to 1/0 AWG (50 mm²) or busbar contacts.

PP120 Silver Plated Wire Contacts

Silver plated contacts offer superior electrical performance and durability up to 10,000 mating cycles.
New contacts for 1 to 1/0 AWG (35 to 50 mm²) offer extended capability in the same housings. See

NOTE 1: See IEC 60664-1 for working voltage.
NOTE 2: Amp ratings are stated per position and based on all positions being
fully loaded.
1 - Based on: 105°C rated or better cable of the largest size. Properly
calibrated APP® recommended tooling, and a 25°C ambient temperature.
UL rating not to exceed the maximum operating temperature. CSA rating
below a 30°C temperature rise.
2 - Limited by the thermal properties of the connector plastic housing.
3 - Use APP® recommended tooling only. Alternate tools may adversely affectthe performance of our connectors along with UL and CSA recognition.
4 - Based on 2 housings blocked together.
