Frequently asked questions
What current and voltage can J599HV carry?
Contacts are rated from 80 A (size 6) to 300 A (size 4/0), with 3500 V dielectric withstanding voltage. Tell us your working voltage and current and we will confirm the configuration.
What is the HV interlock option?
The 02 version adds a high-voltage interlock (HVIL) circuit, so your system can detect when the connector is unmated and switch off the high-voltage supply.
Can I get other contact counts?
Yes. The catalog lists 1, 2 and 4-contact layouts; other counts can be made to your requirements.
