Powerpole® Pak Connectors – PP15 to PP45
Powerpole® Pak connector shells enclose stacked groupings of PP15-45 sized housings in a durable black shell for a finished connector appearance and additional features. Inline, panel mount, and blindmate configurations are available. Plug shells offer the option of integral latches and strain relief to help secure your connection.

“T” Pak 2 Way Splitter
The Powerpole® “T” Pak connector is a 2 way electrical splitter that splits electrical current from one incoming circuit into two outgoing circuits. The standard configuration is pre-wired for AC 3 phase, 3 wire plus ground configurations. The “T” Pak can also be used for AC single phase plus ground or DC 2 wire plus ground applications by not using either the red or white power positions.
“T” Pak is pre-wired from the factory allowing plug and play field installation of modular office and industrial equipment. UL recognition up to 20 amps and 600 volts is achieved when mating Powerpole® Pak plugs with #12 AWG wire.
Plug Shell without Latch
Can mate in line with other plug shells with or without latches, or mate to a panel mount receptacle. For use with Powerpole® wire connectors only. Cable Clamp and Hardware Pak or Retaining Pins must be ordered separately.
Plug Shell with Latch
Can mate in line with other plug shells without latches, or mate to a panel mount receptacle. For use with Powerpole® wire connectors only. Cable Clamp and Hardware Pak or Retaining Pins must be ordered separately.
