Saf-D-Grid™ Connector System

Anderson Power Products, a leader in the design and manufacture of interconnect solutions, has launched the Saf-D-Grid™ connector system for use in the direct connection of DC electronic devices to a DC micro grid. This connector system is ideal for use in DC servers or any device connecting directly to renewable energy sources such as solar or wind power. The Saf-D-Grid connector system meets international safety requirements for low-voltage applications to 400 VDC including UL950 and IEC60950. The low profile panel receptacle is designed to fit the standard panel cutout for IEC320 C14 outlets while providing touch-safe connections up to 20 amperes at 600 VDC. The connectors are hot-plug rated up to 700A in-rush current at 400 volts and shield the user from arc flash during unmating. Additional safety features include a first-mate/last-break contact to provide ground and an integral latch to prevent connectors from accidental unmating. The rugged polycarbonate housings are UL94 V-0 rated and plug power cords – over-molded to provide strain relief during mating and unmating – are available in 2-, 3- and 5-meter lengths in both single- and double-ended styles.
