Powersafe SLD0051 Line Drain 500A 185mm2 Crimp 22-32mm Red Line 1 IP67

Description

Heavy-duty Line 1 coupling rated to 500A.

The Powersafe SLD-L1-C185-M40B is a red Line 1 line drain connector built for single pole, high-current distribution. It crimps onto 185mm² cable and uses a locking Powerlock-compatible coupling, so Line 1 can't be knocked loose while it's carrying load.

Key Features

• Line drain (cable-mount) format with female contact and male insulator
• Line 1 key position, red colour coding
• Rated 500A at 1000V AC operating voltage
• Crimp contact for 185mm² cable
• M40B gland clamping 22 - 32mm cable OD
• IP67 mated and IP2X finger-proof unmated

Getting Line 1 Right Every Time

Mechanical keying stops cross-connection
Each line position in the Powersafe system has its own colour and its own key. Because this red drain is keyed to L1, it can only engage an L1 source, so it can't be pushed onto L2, L3, neutral or earth by mistake. Separating a coupled pair takes a release key, which protects against an unplanned disconnection while the circuit is energised.

Where the drain sits in the circuit
A Powersafe source has a male contact and typically forms the live end. This drain has a female contact housed in a male insulator, and typically sits at the receiving end. With the pair apart, the IP2X finger-proof design limits access to the contact.

Terminating 185mm² cable
The crimp contact gives a permanent termination on 185mm² conductors, while the M40B metric gland grips cable OD from 22 to 32mm and adds integral strain relief. The supplier names the ME37-C die set (for 130kN C-style crimp tools) and the HT131-C manual hydraulic crimp tool as factory-endorsed tooling for this size. Termination should follow the Powersafe Connector Assembly Guide.

Every Powersafe connector is manufactured and assembled by Phase 3 in the UK to ISO 9001:2015, serving power distribution, events, military and cable assembly applications internationally.

Q: Does the Powersafe SLD-L1-C185-M40B mate with Powerlock Line 1 connectors?
A: Yes. It is built on the Powerlock mating system and cross-referenced to ITT VEAM Powerlock part NLDFT-1-R-L-C185-M40B. Its L1 key means it will only couple with a Line 1 source.

Q: Will my cable fit the Powersafe Line 1 drain?
A: It is made for 185mm² cable with an outside diameter between 22 and 32mm, which is the clamping range of its M40B gland. Measure the cable OD to confirm before you order.

Q: Which crimp tooling is recommended?
A: Use tooling rated for 185mm². The supplier recommends the ME37-C die set paired with the HT131-C manual hydraulic crimp tool as the factory-endorsed option.
