Thomas Betts 17024-BD 1/0 Awg Battery Connector

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 17024-BD is a battery connector rated for 1/0 AWG wire. It is designed to provide a secure, low-resistance termination point between a battery cable and its terminal or mating connector. This type of connector is used in applications where reliable electrical continuity and mechanical retention are critical, including backup power systems, UPS installations, and industrial battery banks. Licensed electricians and low-voltage technicians are the primary installers. The connector suits both new installations and field replacements where the original terminal has corroded or failed.

This connector is suited for use with 1/0 AWG battery cable in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. Typical applications include battery backup power systems, standby generators, telecom battery strings, and similar DC power distribution assemblies. It is appropriate wherever a durable, code-compliant battery cable termination is required at 1/0 AWG gauge.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation battery connector for 1/0 AWG battery cable assemblies in DC power and backup power applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or low-voltage technician familiar with DC battery systems. Always disconnect and isolate the battery bank before terminating or removing any battery connectors to prevent arc flash or short-circuit hazards. Follow applicable NEC guidelines for battery room wiring and conductor terminations. Use the correct crimping tool specified for the connector and wire gauge to ensure a gas-tight, low-resistance crimp joint.
