Preparing Wire and Crimping Powerpole® Connectors

For both sizes of connectors, strip the wire 5/16”. Insert the connector being used in the appropriate

spot on the Powerpole die. Squeeze the crimp tool slightly so the connector is held snug in place.
Insert the wire and squeeze the crimp tool until it ratchets and releases. The crimp is complete. The
pictures below show the 45 amp connector.

The difference between the 30 Amp and 45 Amp connectors is the contact type used. The housings are the same
size. The 30 Amp connector is made for wires ranging from 16-12 AWG and the 45 Amp contact is for 14-10 AWG
wire.

1. Strip the wires 5/16".

2. Ensure sure the contacts are aligned properly. Crimp the contacts using a Powerpole®
crimp tool. When using the crimp tool, do not deform the contacts. Soldering is optional.

3. The housings have built-in interlocking tabs so you can connect them together. Interlock

one red and one black housing as shown. Note how the ends of the housings are in the same
direction as shown.

4. Insert the contacts into the housings (red or positive to red, black or ground to black) as shown. Make sure the
contacts are facing the proper way. Push them in all the way. When you hear the 'click', the contact is fully seated in the housing.

5. Retention clips are used to help keep Powerpole® connectors together when in use. They slip into the holes as shown:

6. Refer to the instructions that come with the extraction tool for use in removing contacts from housings.
