SBE® 160 / SBX® 175 Connectors
Up to 175 Amps
SBX® and SBE® connectors can integrate up to 8 auxiliary power /
signal contacts along with the two primary power circuits. SBE®
connectors feature an IEC 60950 touch safe housing molded
from a chemical resistant PBT / PC blend resin. SBX® are molded
from a rugged PC resin and are rated IP20 per IEC 60529.
SBE® 160
• Touch Safe Interface
Minimizes potential contact with live circuits per IEC 60950
& IEC 60529
• Up to 8 Last Mate / First Break Auxiliaries
Enables intelligent power switching, CAN and interlock loop
circuitry, as well as power up to 20 amps per pole
SBE® 160 / SBX® 175
• Color-coded Mechanical Voltage Keys
Like all Multipole connectors, the SBE® and SBX® offer an
easy way to identify circuits and protect against cross mating

SBE® 160 / SBX® 175 Housings
The middle size of SBE®, X, O style housing. SBE® housings are molded from a chemical
resistant PBT. SBX® housings are molded from PC. SBE® 160 and SBX® 175 housings of the
same Voltage Color-Code can be mated (except yellow) but is not recommended as it
invalidates UL approvals. SBX® 175 housings do not meet EN1175-1 requirements for
industrial trucks.

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 - Voltage capability of SBE® housing is identical to SBX®, but derated to meet
