2. Nga korero haumaru
Kia mau tonu nga whakaritenga haumaru e whai ake nei:
- Pūmate Hiko: Always disconnect power before installing, servicing, or removing connectors. High currents can cause severe injury or death.
- Utauta Tika: Use only appropriate tools for installation, including crimping tools for contacts (not included with housing).
- Polarity Tika: Ensure correct polarity when assembling and connecting. Reversing polarity can damage equipment.
- Nga Tikanga Taiao: 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.
- Tāuta Ngaio: Installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with electrical systems and safety practices.
3. Nga Hua o te Hua
The SB350 connector housing offers several key features:
- Te kaha o naianei: 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 voltage tūhonohono.
- Hanga Roa: Robust polycarbonate housing for long-lasting performance in demanding environments.
- Polarized: Prevents incorrect insertion of contacts.

4. Tatūnga me te Tāuta
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.
- Whakapaia nga Waea: 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.
- Hoapā Crimp: 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:

- Manatokona te Runanga: Double-check all connections for proper crimping and correct polarity.
5. Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere
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.
Hiranga: 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. Tiaki
The SB350 connector housing requires minimal maintenance. Periodically inspect the connector for:
- Tukino Tinana: Check for cracks, chips, or deformation of the housing.
- Te waikura: Inspect contacts for signs of corrosion or pitting. Clean if necessary with a non-abrasive electrical contact cleaner.
- Hononga Wewete: 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. Te Raru
| Raruraru | Take pea | Rongoā |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
