"A" Series Connector A32 Male DIN Style The AndersonTM DIN style "A" Series uses the form factor which has been specially configured for North American fast battery charging systems. Unlike other DIN 43589-1 connectors, our "A" Series offers contact and crimp tooling selections developed for both American Wire Gauge and Metric cable. We also offer a broader range of auxiliary wire contacts for communication control applications. The connector design incorporates an advanced, cost effective contact carrier for ease of assembly and fewer components. All materials are selected to ensure years of reliable service under adverse battery environments. Features * Impact resistant plastic housing PA6 (Nylon) housings provide superior impact resistance to stand up to rough usage * Up to four auxiliary contacts Can be used for battery monitoring and charger communications. Last mate - first break, auxiliary contact sizes available from 10AWG to 18AWG. * Low mating forces Connectors can be mated and unmated without the necessity of added hardware * Hexagonal voltage key for 24V, 36V, 48V, 72V, 80V, or 96V Key prevents mating of different operating voltages Note: Will not mate with "Euro Battery Connector" Series Housings SPECIFICATIONS Electrical Current Rating (Amperes) * UL EN1175-1:1998 CSA Voltage Rating UL / CSA EN1175-1:1998 Wire Range - Power Contacts - AWG (mm) - Auxiliary Contacts - AWG (mm) Dielectric Withstanding Voltage (AC) Average Contact Resistance (micro-ohms) Operating Temperature (C) (F) Mechanical Life a.
