1. INTRODUCTION

This specification covers the requirements for application of Power Series 350 (double–pole) connector

assembly in high–current systems for power supplies, battery chargers, telecommunications, and material

handling equipment. The connector assembly consists of a hermaphroditic housing and two closed–barrel

contacts. The contacts are available in sizes 1/0, 2/0, 3/0, 4/0, and 300 and accept wire sizes (AWG) that

correspond to the contact size. Reducing bushing is available for contact size 2/0 to accommodate wire size

1/0 AWG.

The housing features two contact cavities each marked on top of the housing with a plus (+) to indicate positive

polarity and a minus (–) to indicate negative polarity. Each contact is held in the cavity by an internal retaining

spring. The hermaphroditic design of the housing ensures proper polarity in mating of the connectors. In

addition, the housings are color coded to provide visual reference for proper mating and a molded–in

mechanical key at the mating face prevents inadvertent mating of different colored housings (housings with

same position keys will only engage housings of the same color). The housing color is also coded for voltage.

The contacts feature a flared wire barrel and round–ended tab. The contacts are available in loose–piece for

terminating with manual or pneumatic hand–held tools.

When corresponding with personnel, use the terminology provided in this specification to facilitate your

inquiries for information. Basic terms and features of this product are provided in Figure 1.

3. REQUIREMENTS

IMPORTANT:

Using the exact products and application requirements described in this document will ensure

proper application; however, to ensure reliability of performance, it is highly recommended that an independent

evaluation be conducted of the chosen product combinations (wire, connector assemblies, and system)

before

final application is approved.

3.1. Special Assembly Considerations and Safety

These connectors MUST NOT be used for interrupting current; otherwise, there is risk of electrical shock. In

any case, the electrical power supply must ALWAYS BE DISCONNECTED, and the connectors must ALWAYS

BE DE–ENERGIZED (this might include disconnecting the wire from the battery) before mating and unmating

or servicing the connectors.

It is highly recommended that these connectors not be used in external power applications where the electrical

potential exceeds 42 V. In applications where these connectors are located internal to a device and do not

serve as the primary means of connection, high voltages are allowable. It must be determined by the original

equipment manufacturer (OEM) whether the connectors meet electrical and safety requirements when used in

a specific application.

In applications where the connectors are used external to a device or as the primary means of disconnecting power

supplies or charging equipment, care must be taken to avoid touching exposed electrical contacts as there is risk of

electric shock.

3.2. Limitations

This product is designed to operate in a temperature range of –20

to 105

C [–4

to 221

F].

3.3. Material

The housing is made of polycarbonate, rated Underwriter Laboratories, Inc. (UL) 94 V–0. The springs (inside

the housing) are made of stainless steel. The cable clamp is made of aluminum. The contacts and reducing

bushing are made of copper plated with silver.

3.4. Storage

A. Ultraviolet Light

Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light may deteriorate the chemical composition used in the housing

material.

B. Shelf Life

The housings and contacts should remain in the shipping containers until ready for use to prevent

deformation. The housings and contacts should be used on a first in, first out basis to avoid storage

contamination that could adversely affect performance.

C. Chemical Exposure

Do not store housings or contacts near any chemical listed below as they may cause discoloration of the

plated finish of the contacts or stress corrosion cracking in the housing or contact material.

Alkalies Ammonia Citrates Phosphates Citrates Sulfur Compounds

Amines Carbonates Nitrites Sulfur Nitrites Tartrates

3.5. Wire Selection and Preparation

The contacts accept stranded (recommended a minimum of 19 strands) copper wire sizes 1/0, 2/0, 3/0,

4/0 AWG, and 300 thousands circular mils (MCM) with a maximum insulation diameter of 27.94 [1.10]. Contact

size 2/0 can accept wire size 1/0 AWG with the use of the appropriate reducing bushing (as described in

Paragraph 3.6).

Wires with less than 19 strands may be too stiff and difficult to work with.

Tarnished copper wire must be thoroughly cleaned using a stiff wire brush, or other suitable method, that

penetrates the entire bundle and cleans every conductor. The wire must be restored to a bright copper finish.

The contact wire barrels are lined with silver plating to assure consistently high conductivity which will be

reduced if tarnished wire is used.

The wire must be cut to length. Proper strip length is necessary to properly insert the conductors into the

contact. The strip length of the wire is shown in Figure 2.

Reasonable care must be taken not to nick or scrape any part of the wire during the stripping.

3.6. Reducing Bushing

Reducing bushing is available for contact size 2/0 to accommodate wire size 1/0 AWG. When required, the

reducing bushing must be installed onto the wire

after

stripping the wire and

before

inserting the wire into the

contact. Placement of the reducing bushing must meet the requirements shown in Figure 3.

3.7. Crimp Requirements

A. Reducing Bushing

If used, the reducing bushing must be held firmly inside the contact wire barrel. The reducing bushing

must be straight in relation to the wire barrel and must be flush with the end of the wire barrel or protrude

no more than the dimension provided in Figure 4.

B. Tab

The tab must not be deformed in any way. See Figure 4.

C. Wire Barrel Crimp

All wire conductors must be held firmly inside the wire barrel. The crimp applied to the wire barrel is the

most compressed area and most critical in ensuring optimum performance of the crimped contact. The

crimped area must be symmetrical on both sides of the wire barrel. See Figure 4.

The developed dual-indent crimp configuration results from using the specific tooling described in Section 5,

TOOLING.

D. Wire Conductor and Insulation Location

No wire conductors can be folded back over the wire insulation. The wire insulation must not enter the wire

barrel. The wire conductors must be visible between the reducing bushing, if applicable, or wire barrel and

the wire insulation within the dimension given in Figure 4.

The end of the wire must be flush with the end of the wire barrel or extend no more than the dimension

given in Figure 4.

E. Flash

There shall be no flash or extruded contact insulation visible in the crimped area. See Figure 4.

3.9. Installing Contacts into Housing

The electrical supply MUST BE DISCONNECTED and the connectors MUST BE DE-ENERGIZED (this might include

disconnecting the wire from the battery) before installing the contacts into the housing.

The contacts must NOT be forced into the housing. Each contact must be installed in the housing according to

the following requirements (shown in Figure 7).

1. Each contact must be inserted into the wire side of the housing.

2. The bottom of each contact must face the retaining spring of the housing (the word “AMP” or TE logo

marked on the connector and on the contact must be facing the same direction).

3. Each contact must be in straight alignment with the contact cavity.

4. Each contact must be fully latched onto the housing retaining spring.

3.10. Removing Contacts from Housing

The housing retaining spring must be depressed away from the underside of the contact to remove the contact

from the housing. A contact must be removed from the housing according to the following:

The electrical supply MUST BE DISCONNECTED and the connectors MUST BE DE-ENERGIZED (this might include

disconnecting the wire from the battery) before removing the contacts from the housing.
