Thomas Betts -17035-1-BD 2/0 Awg Battery Connector

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS -17035-1-BD is a tin plated copper battery connector rated for 2/0 AWG wire. It is designed to create secure, low-resistance terminations on battery cables and heavy-gauge power circuits. The tin plating over the copper body resists corrosion and oxidation, which is critical in battery bank environments where moisture and off-gassing are common. This connector is identifiable by its orange color coding, which helps technicians quickly verify correct wire gauge selection during installation. Electricians and low-voltage power system technicians are the primary installers of this type of connector.

This connector is suited for use in stationary battery systems, backup power installations, heavy equipment battery terminals, and similar high-current DC applications. It is appropriate for both residential and commercial electrical work where 2/0 AWG battery cable terminations are required. The orange color designation assists in gauge identification on multi-cable battery bank builds where multiple wire sizes may be present in the same enclosure.

Key Features

• Rated for 2/0 AWG maximum compatible wire size
• Tin plated copper construction for corrosion resistance and reliable conductivity
• Orange color coding for quick gauge identification during installation
• Suitable for battery cable terminations in high-current DC power systems
• Compact form factor for use in tight enclosure spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style battery connector for use with 2/0 AWG copper battery cable in stationary and mobile DC power applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or qualified power systems technician. De-energize and disconnect all battery circuits before beginning termination work. Use the correct crimping tool rated for 2/0 AWG copper lugs and connectors to ensure a gas-tight crimp. Follow applicable NEC guidelines for battery system wiring and termination practices.
