Connector (V2) - Volvo Penta (22131783)

A connector is a mechanical device that connects electrical conductors to form an electrical circuit. Most connectors are gendered, which means that the male component, known as a plug, links to the female part, known as a socket. The connection may be detachable, require the use of a tool for assembly and removal, or serve as a permanent connection between two points.

Heavy-duty power connectors are ideal for rugged industrial applications that require high-power delivery with built-in operator safety factors. Standardized parts for specific power requirements protect equipment and personnel even when disconnected in wet environments, including backshells, covers, and other accessories, protect the environment and provide reliability.

Specifications:

• Current: The current rating of a connector describes the rate of electricity flow (current) that it is designed to accommodate. This connector is expressed in amperes (A or amps). A connector's current rating is typically 1A to 50A, though smaller and larger ratings are available for special applications.
• Voltage: The voltage rating specifies the voltage range and types the connector is designed to carry. Volts (V) is used to measure voltage, and Alternating Current (AC) or Direct Current (DC) is used to measure current (DC). Typical ratings include 50V, 125V, 250V, and 600V, but other voltages are available.
• Operating Temperature: The operating temperature range specifies the electrical connector's recommended temperature range and minimum/maximum safe operating temperature
