Since our discovery of Apex 2.8’s every project receiving a new Reg/Rec has one of these on it. If you find satisfaction in doing things the right way and solace in knowing you could avoid ever having another meltdown, then read on. Stator wires carry a significant amount of current and as wiring ages and terminals corrode, resistance builds up generating heat that exhausts the thermal protection of the connector leading to a connector that looks like a toasted marshmallow. Large terminals mean large contact surfaces allowing each to carry up to 40 amps of current. While water seals lock out moisture and the corrosion it creates. Highlights: Ideal for Regulator/Rectifier connections but versatile enough for many other applications. 40 amps per terminal 2, 3, 4, & 6 pole options. Two terminal sizes 14-16AWG and 16-20AWG* Easy to assemble and service Easy release latch with locking mechanism Mounting tab Meets or Exceeds USCAR and GMW3191 Standards Watertight up to IP 68 Temperature range -40ºc to 150ºC Vibration Performance 12 G *Each connector is supplied with 14-16AWG terminals, enough to make one mistake. The 16-20AWG Terminals are Gold plated making them expensive if you’re not planning to use them so these are offered as an add-on option in which case you'll receive both terminal sizes. **On an 8 wire Stator we use a 2 pole for the Field Excitement wires and a 6 Pole for the remaining wires.
