Power Clip® Dual PoleConnector Series

The Anderson Power Products Dual PolePower Clip is designed as a low costinterconnection between two perpendicularpower bus bars. The product’s highperformance contacts offer low voltage dropand superior amperage carrying capability.
There is no mating connector to the Dual
Pole Power Clip as it accepts a solid .125
inches or 3mm thick nickel or gold plated
rectangular bus bar tab.

FEATURES

The product is often used in "N+1" rectifier,power supply and switching power supply
applications. The Dual Pole Power Clip's
design enables the connector to be blind
mated in the deepest racks.

• Blind Mating Design

The Dual Pole design allows for mating to a
two pole laminated bus bar or double sided
PSB tab. This will allow for feed and returnwith one single socket.

Product safety and electrical performance has
been verified to the highest standards• High 300A Current Rating

Small size provides dense power packaging• Mates with .125 inches or 3mm flat
Bus Bar Blade
Simplifies construction and lowers cost

Allows greater vertical chassis manufacturingtolerances• UL and CUR Recognized

The Dual Pole Power Clip is recognized toUL1977 and CSA standard C22.2 and is
rated for up to 300 amps continuous service.

The graph shows the Dual Pole Power Clip electrical performance in terms of temperature rise and voltage
drop at currents from 150A to 350A. The set up for the test consisted of the following:• Six Power Clips were mounted on a bus bar that was 0.25 x 1.75 x 6.0 inches in diameter.
• The test samples were connected in series using 1/0 AWG wire attached to a 1" long and .125" thicknickel plated mating blades.
