Heavy-duty Connector Architecture

This is especially true in applications where the required current rating is close to the maximum of the selected heavy duty 12 volt connectors series or where mechanical strength of the wire is required. In both cases, a heavier wire gauge should be selected. Most 12v heavy duty connector will accommodate automotive wire gauges from 16 to 22 AWG. Note that heavy duty crimp connectors will accommodate up to 10 gauge wire.

heavy duty waterproof electrical connectors Working Voltage
Most applications are within the 250V voltage rating of the standard heavy duty 2 pin connector, although some heavy duty connector 16 pin series offer 600V ratings. The voltage ratings are RMS values ​​and therefore apply to both AC and DC voltages. Typically, higher voltage ratings are obtained by fully enclosing the male and female terminals, respectively, in the housing. Covered housings or fully isolated contacts can also provide protection for the metal terminals during assembly and handling of the wires heavy duty connector 5 pin.
