two pole battery connectors with option for auxiliary contacts.
FOR INSTALLATION BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN IN
ACCORDANCE WITH NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES
AND THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS. THE SUITABILITY OF THIS
TYPE OF TERMINATION MUST BE EVALUATED BY UNDERWRITERS’
LABORATORIES, INC. AND CANADIAN STANDARDS. ASSOCIATION
FOR THE END USE APPLICATION: Assemble contacts to the cables
according to the equipment manufacturer’s assembly instructions. The
following instructions are supplied as a reference. Please note: instruc-
tions are included with each crimp tool for proper use.
CAUTION: When using cable with jacket diameter less
than 0.423 inches (11mm) on the SBE160 / SBX175 and
less than 0.709 inches (18mm) on the SBE320 / SBX350
thin wall heat shrink insulation should be evenly applied
across the cable and contact barrel junction to insure
nger protection.
Contains one (1) housing and two (2) contacts.

4. CABLE STRIPPING DIMENSIONS FOR PRIMARY POWER CONTACTS
5. RECOMMENDED SOLDERING TECHNIQUES
(Use rosin ux solder only). Wrap cable strands, melt solder into well; heat and insert stripped cable. Continue
heating well until solder ows into wire being careful not to over ow onto contact surfaces. DO NOT SOLDER DIP
CONTACTS when contacts are soldered to unsupported lead. Underwriters’ Laboratories, Inc. requires use of cable
clamps, listed in table below.
6. CABLE / CONTACT & HOUSING ASSEMBLY
Observing polarity of markings, push each contact into rear of housing until notched side snaps
over spring, tug on cable to make sure contact is locked into place.
DISASSEMBLING CONNECTORS (see illustration)
Switch off power rst. Remove contact by inserting extraction tool (cat. no. SBE160 / SBX175 - 969P1, SBE320 /
SBX350 - 970P1) as shown below (steps 1, 2, & 3).
CAUTION: Replace contacts individually on battery leads to reduce potential danger of shorting.
1. Insert extraction tool as shown between contact and housing to point A.
2. Press down to release contact from spring.
3. Pull cable to remove contact.

Contains two each of: housings, contacts, retaining pins, & cable ties.
1. Single conductors use #12 to #18 AWG wire only. Strip to 0.31 inch (7.9 mm) off end of insulation.
2. Twin conductor cable #12 to #18. Strip back outer jacket 5.50 inches (139 mm). (See illustration). Then strip
conductor insulation as in 1.
3a. To crimp: use the recommended tool. Crimping by other means may disturb contact position in housing and or
produce high resistance joints.
3b. To Solder: Not recommended.
4. Thread or push one or two auxiliary contacts and wires through the rear of the connector before inserting into
auxiliary housings. Push into auxiliary housings through rear until notched side of contact tip snaps over spring.
Tug wires to make sure wires are secure.
5. Slide two auxiliary Powerpole®housings together by dovetails to stack vertically. They cannot be inserted
separately into SBE / SBX housing. The rear of each of the Powerpole housings must be ush.
6. Slide stacked auxiliaries back into connector housing until seated. The male dovetail should be on top as shown
in Figure 1. Make sure side grooves of auxiliaries are aligned for retaining pins and insert tubular pins. Tap pins in
holes from top, as shown in Figure 1.

7. Cable ties are supplied to secure the auxiliary leads or cable to one of the main power cables. Leave slack or loop
in leads to Powerpole®contacts when applying cable ties. Wraps to be placed approximately 1 inch (25.4 mm) apart
as shown in Figure 2.
8. To remove auxiliary housings, punch out retaining pins from bottom of the connector housing with an 0.06 inch
(1.5 mm) diameter steel rod or pin driver. Pull auxiliary housings out of the SBE®/SBX®connector housing. Use
contact insertion-extraction tool kit (part number 111038G2), to remove contacts from auxiliary housings see Figure 3.
WARNING: UTMOST CAUTION SHOULD BE USED WHEN WORKING ON LIVE CONNECTOR CONTACTS
