PP15/45 & POWERPOLE® PAK SPECIFICATIONS

NOTE 1: See IEC 60664-1 for working voltage.

NOTE 2: Amp ratings are stated per position and based on all

positions being fully loaded.

* No TUV Recognition

1 - Based on: 105°C rated or better cable of the largest size,

Properly calibrated APP® recommended tooling, and a 25°C

ambient temperature. UL rating not to exceed the maximum

operating temperature. CSA rating below a 30°C temperature rise.

2 - Limited by the thermal properties of the connector plastic housing.

3 - Use APP® recommended tooling only. Alternate tools may

adversely affect the performance of our connectors along

with UL and CSA recognition.

4 - Tested with contact part number 261G2.

5 - Based on 2 housings blocked together.
