AMP Power Series Connectors

21 Mar 2013

AMP Power Series connectors provide a durable, quick connect/disconnect means to transmit "power" levels of current and voltage (15-275 A, 600 V AC/DC). This product family is primarily comprised of single-pole and 2-pole (battery) connector housings, snap-in contacts and accessories. Housings are offered in various colours. Two pole housings have different polarization configurations. The different colours identify a different keying configuration and only like colour housings will mate. This feature can be used to help identify different voltage ratings. Contacts are either cold-headed or stamped and formed, depending upon the connector series. AMP power series connectors are divided into eight series, based upon approximate current-carrying capability.

AMP Power Series 15/30/45

Single-pole connector housings are stackable side-to-side and top-to-bottom. Modular housings can also be grouped into plug frames with or without latches, which mate with receptacle housings.

AMP Power Series 50

Two-pole (battery) housings are available in bulk quantities or in kit form (i.e., 1 housing and 2 contacts). These high durability connectors are designed for repeated mating and unmating.

AMP Power Series 50 Finger Probe Resistant (FPR)

This new, 2-pole, FPR version helps prevent finger access, which allows it to be more safely used at elevated voltages and in user access areas.

AMP Power Series 75

Single-pole, stackable housings, in locking and non-locking versions, are available in a variety of colors. Housings accept stamped and formed or cold-headed contacts.

AMP Power Series 120

This Series includes both single- and 2-pole (battery) versions. Single-pole housings with molded-in dovetails allow stacking. Housing retaining pins provide more vibration protection. Two-pole housing have slots designed to accept mounting clamp sets for easier panel mounting.

AMP Power Series 175

Two-pole (battery) housings accept coldheaded contacts (4-1/0 AWG). Basically, these connectors offer the same features as the two-pole Series 50 connectors.

AMP Power Series 180

These stackable, single-pole connectors accept cold-headed contacts (4-1/0 AWG). Most features are similar to the smaller, single-pole, Series 120 connectors.

AMP Power Series 350

Rugged, 2-pole housings accept only loose piece, cold-headed contacts (1/0–300 MCM). Rated at 275 A, these connectors have been tested up to 275 A, with 4/0 AWG wire.
