1. Introducció
This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective use of the Anderson Power Products SB350 Heavy Duty Power Connector Housing, Model 906-BK. This product is designed for high-current applications, providing a robust and reliable connection solution. Please read this manual thoroughly before installation and operation to ensure proper usage and to prevent damage or injury.
2. Informació de seguretat
Observeu sempre les precaucions de seguretat següents:
- Risc elèctric: Always disconnect power before installing, servicing, or removing connectors. High currents can cause severe injury or death.
- Eines adequades: Use only appropriate tools for installation, including crimping tools for contacts (not included with housing).
- Polaritat correcta: Ensure correct polarity when assembling and connecting. Reversing polarity can damage equipment.
- Condicions ambientals: Do not expose the connector to conditions beyond its specified operating environment (e.g., extreme temperatures, excessive moisture, corrosive substances) unless specifically rated for such conditions.
- Instal·lació professional: Installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with electrical systems and safety practices.
3. Característiques del producte
The SB350 connector housing offers several key features:
- Alta capacitat de corrent: Designed for applications up to 350 amps.
- Genderless Design: Allows for simplified assembly and reduced stock. Mates with identical housings.
- Color-Coded: Gray housing indicates a specific voltage keying, preventing accidental mating with different voltagconnectors e.
- Construcció duradora: Robust polycarbonate housing for long-lasting performance in demanding environments.
- Polarized: Prevents incorrect insertion of contacts.

4. Configuració i instal·lació
This section outlines the general steps for installing the SB350 connector housing. Note: Contacts are sold separately and are required for a complete connector assembly.
- Prepareu els cables: Strip the insulation from the ends of your power cables to the recommended length for the chosen contacts. Ensure the wire gauge matches the contact rating.
- Contactes de crimpat: Using a suitable crimping tool, crimp the appropriate Anderson Power Products contacts onto the stripped wire ends. Ensure a secure and low-resistance connection.
- Insert Contacts into Housing:

Carefully insert the crimped contacts into the back of the housing. Observe the polarity markings (+ and -) on the housing to ensure correct orientation. The contacts should click into place, indicating they are securely latched. Gently pull on the wire to confirm the contact is locked.

- Verificar l'assemblatge: Double-check all connections for proper crimping and correct polarity.
5. Instruccions de funcionament
Once assembled, the SB350 connector is ready for use. Its genderless design means any SB350 housing (of the same color/keying) can mate with another. To connect, align the two housings and push them firmly together until they are fully seated. To disconnect, pull the housings apart. Always disconnect by pulling on the housing, not the wires.
Important: This connector is designed for disconnect use only. Do not use it as a switch to make or break a circuit under load, as this can cause arcing and damage to the contacts and housing.
6. Manteniment
The SB350 connector housing requires minimal maintenance. Periodically inspect the connector for:
- Danys físics: Check for cracks, chips, or deformation of the housing.
- Corrosió: Inspect contacts for signs of corrosion or pitting. Clean if necessary with a non-abrasive electrical contact cleaner.
- Connexions soltes: Ensure wires are still securely crimped to contacts and contacts are firmly seated in the housing.
Replace any damaged components immediately to ensure safe and reliable operation.
7. Solució De Problemes
| Problema | Causa possible | Solució |
|---|---|---|
| Connector will not mate | Incorrect keying (different color housing), obstruction, damaged housing. | Ensure both housings are the same color/keying. Check for debris. Inspect for damage and replace if necessary. |
| Loose connection / Intermittent power | Poor crimp, contact not fully seated, damaged contact. | Re-crimp wire to contact. Ensure contact is fully inserted and locked into housing. Replace damaged contacts. |
| Overheating of connector | Overcurrent, poor connection (high resistance), undersized wire/contacts. | Verify current draw is within limits. Check crimps and contact seating. Ensure wire gauge and contacts are appropriate for the application. |
