The SY® Power Connector is designed for use as a power quick-disconnect in automotive, RV, and marine applications, as well as other high-current DC charging circuits. SY® connector housings are genderless and mechanically keyed by color—connectors of the same color and size are mated together by simply flipping one over. The keyed design visually and physically prevents accidental cross-mating.
UL rated for 600 volts
Single-piece impact-resistant Polycarbonate Lexan® housings
Superior tolerance to extreme cold and heat
Solid copper contacts are plated with 99.9% pure silver for maximum conductivity with low resistance
Unique “ramplock” action allows contacts to be easily mated yet securely locked in position
Integral tempered 301 stainless steel springs maintain constant pressure on the contacts to ensure consistent, low resistance connections and resist vibration arcing
Self cleaning design keeps conductive surfaces corrosion-free
Heat-treated, flared barrels readily accept fine stranded wire
