Thomas Betts 17026-BD Battery Connector 3/0 Awg

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 17026-BD is a battery connector rated for 3/0 AWG conductors. Battery connectors in this wire gauge range are used to terminate large-conductor cabling in high-current DC applications, providing a reliable mechanical and electrical connection between a battery terminal and a cable lug or mating connector. The 17026-BD is a compact component suited for professional installation in stationary battery banks, backup power systems, and similar heavy-gauge wiring assemblies. Electricians and battery system technicians typically handle this type of connector during system commissioning or maintenance.

This connector is appropriate for 3/0 AWG applications where a secure, low-resistance termination is required. Typical installations include UPS systems, telecom battery cabinets, generator battery circuits, and similar stationary or mobile DC power setups. Its compact form factor makes it practical in space-constrained battery enclosures. It is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 5 pieces.
