SBE320 320A Power Connector for 24–80V Forklift Batteries

SBE320 Series power connector for forklifts, electric industrial vehicles, and high-power handling systems. Designed to handle currents up to 320A safely and reliably, it is ideal for heavy-duty applications requiring stable battery connections that are resistant to the acids and chemicals typical of logistics and industrial environments.

Main features

• Series / Model: SBE – SBE320

• Maximum current: 320 A

• Supported voltages: 24V / 36V / 48V / 80V (depending on the color/variant chosen)

• Available colors (voltage coding):

  • Red → 24V

  • Gray → 36V

  • Blue → 48V

  • Black → 80V

• Body material: PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) + Polycarbonate (PC), with high mechanical resistance and resistance to chemical agents

• Acid resistance: Yes, suitable for lead-acid battery environments

• Number of main contacts: 2

• Body Dimensions (inches): 4.94″ x 3.28″ x 1.31″

• Recommended wire size: 2/0 AWG ≈ 67.4 mm² (70 mm² European standard)

• Approximate weight: approx. 0.315–0.322 kg

• Main contacts: included

• Handle: not included (can be purchased separately as an accessory)

• Air tube / lower pilot contacts: not present

• Reference standard: EN 1175-1:2020 (safety for electric industrial trucks)

Benefits of use

• Genderless design: One connector type mates with another, reducing the risk of error and mix-ups.

• Color-Voltage Coding: Interchangeable shells help avoid connections between batteries and chargers with different voltages.

• Rugged for intensive use: PBT/PC body with high resistance to shock, vibration and mechanical stress typical of logistics.

• Acid Resistant: Ideal for lead-acid battery applications and humid or vapor/electrolyte contaminated environments.

• Compatible with optional handles: makes it easier for operators to attach/detach, especially on large connectors.

Benefits for your business

Choosing an SBE320 connector means having a reliable battery connection over time, reducing the risk of overheating, false contacts, and unexpected downtime. The robust materials and clear voltage coding help maintenance workers and operators work safely, speeding up connection/disconnection operations and keeping forklifts always available when needed.

Notes on compatibility and assembly

• Use this connector on systems up to 320A and voltages 24/36/48/80V depending on the color chosen.

• Always check that the voltage and color of the connector match those of the battery and charger already installed.

• Make sure you use cables with adequate cross-section (≈70 mm²) and crimp them according to good workshop practices.

• For more ergonomic handling, a compatible handle (not included) can be added to make daily connection/disconnection easier.
