Thomas Betts 17014-BD Battery Connector 1/0 Awg

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 17014-BD is a battery connector rated for 1/0 AWG conductors, designed for use in electrical power and battery cable termination applications. This connector provides a secure, low-resistance termination point where heavy-gauge cable meets battery terminals, bus bars, or similar power distribution components. It is suited for use in commercial, industrial, and standby power installations where reliable cable-to-terminal connections are required. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors are the typical installers of this type of connector in battery bank, UPS, and power distribution work.

This connector is appropriate for 1/0 AWG cable terminations in battery systems, backup power setups, and heavy-gauge electrical distribution panels. It is well-suited for applications where robust mechanical and electrical continuity is needed at the termination point, including generator starting circuits, UPS battery banks, and industrial power distribution assemblies. Its compact form factor allows use in tight terminal spaces common in battery enclosures and switchgear.

Key Features

• Rated for 1/0 AWG conductor termination
• Designed for battery cable and heavy-gauge power termination applications

• Low-resistance connection interface for reliable power transfer

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style termination connector for 1/0 AWG battery and power cables in residential, commercial, and industrial electrical installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician following applicable NEC guidelines for battery systems and power distribution terminations. Disconnect and de-energize the battery system or power source completely before making or removing any termination connections. Use appropriately rated crimping tools specified for 1/0 AWG lugs and connectors to ensure a proper mechanical and electrical crimp. Inspect the termination for proper seating and absence of exposed conductor strands before returning the circuit to service.
