Orange Housing 175 Amp – AN-942

Rated to carry 175 amps, this orange connector housing holds the contacts for a high-current battery or power connection on electric material handling equipment, giving the cable a secure, keyed coupling that mates with its matching half. The orange color is a keying and identification feature, not decoration, since color-coded housings only pair with the same color, which prevents a connection to an incompatible circuit.

Its 175 amp rating sets the current the connector is built to carry, matching it to the cable gauge and load of the circuit it serves. To pair correctly, match both the 175 amp housing size and the orange color to the mating connector, since a different amp frame or color will not couple. Sold as a single housing, it accepts the contacts and cable to rebuild or replace a worn power connector.
