Powersafe SLD0049 Line Drain 500A 185mm2 Crimp 22-32mm Green Earth IP67

Description

A 500A earth connection that stays put.

The Powersafe SLD-E-G-C185-M40B is a green earth line drain connector for single pole, high-current power systems. Its crimp contact suits 185mm² cable, and the Powerlock-compatible coupling locks so the earth path can't be broken by accident.

Key Features

• Line drain (cable-mount) format: female contact, male insulator
• Earth key position, green colour coding
• 500A current rating, 1000V AC operating voltage
• Crimp termination for 185mm² cable
• M40B gland with 22 - 32mm cable clamping range
• IP67 when mated, IP2X finger-proof when unmated
• Silver-plated contact in a high temperature thermoplastic shell

What Makes This Earth Drain Different

Keyed for earth only
Powersafe uses colour coding and a mechanical key for each line position. This green drain is keyed to earth, so it mates with an earth source and nothing else, stopping the earth conductor from being swapped with a phase or neutral. A secondary lock means the coupled pair can only be released with a key, so the connection won't separate under load.

The receiving end of the pair
In a Powersafe connection the source holds a male contact and is usually the live end. The drain, like this connector, holds a female contact in a male insulator and normally receives the connection. Its contacts are finger-proof to IP2X once uncoupled.

Crimp termination for heavier cable
A crimp contact sized for 185mm² cable gives a permanent termination for larger conductors. The M40B metric gland clamps cable from 22 to 32mm outside diameter and provides integral strain relief. For factory-endorsed tooling, the supplier lists the ME37-C die set for 130kN C-style crimp tools and the HT131-C manual hydraulic crimp tool. Always follow the Powersafe Connector Assembly Guide when terminating.

Phase 3 builds Powersafe connectors in the UK to ISO 9001:2015 quality standards for power distribution, events, military and cable assembly work worldwide.

Q: Can the Powersafe SLD-E-G-C185-M40B connect to Powerlock earth connectors?
A: Yes. It uses the Powerlock mating system and is cross-referenced to ITT VEAM Powerlock part NLDFT-E-GN-L-C185-M40B. Because it is earth-keyed, it only mates with an earth source connector.

Q: What cable and gland size does this earth drain use?
A: It takes 185mm² cable on a crimp contact, and the M40B gland clamps an outside diameter of 22 to 32mm. Check your cable's OD against that range before ordering.

Q: What tool do I need to crimp this connector?
A: You need a crimp tool and die suited to 185mm². The supplier lists the ME37-C die set with the HT131-C manual hydraulic crimp tool as factory-endorsed tooling for this size.
