Powerpole® Connectors
PP180 - Up to 350 Amps

PP180 are the largest of the Powerpole® series
housings. They are designed to accommodate up to3/0 (70 mm²) wires and handle high currents up to 350amps. Busbar contacts are also available for power
inputs and takeoffs. Color-coded housings minimize
user confusion and the potential of cross mating circuits.
• Low Resistance Silver Plated Copper Contacts

BusbarAllows currents up to 350 amps

• UL Rated for Hot Plugging up to 75 Amps

Great for battery or other applications where the ability tointerrupt circuits is requiredHousing & Wire Contact• Busbar Contacts Work with Standard Housings
Provides a hot swappable quick disconnect system forbusbar power distribution

PP180 ORDERING INFORMATION
PP180 Housings		

The largest Powerpole® housing can be used with wire
contacts for up to 3/0 AWG (85 mm²) or busbar contacts.

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 Anderson Power™ recommended tooling, and a 25°C ambienttemperature. 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 Anderson Power™ recommended tooling only. Alternate tools may
adversely affect the performance of our connectors along with UL and CSA
recognition.
