Thomas Betts 17035-BD 2/0 Awg Battery Connector

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 17035-BD is a tin-plated copper battery connector rated for 2/0 AWG conductors. Tin plating provides corrosion resistance at the contact interface, which is critical in battery and high-current DC applications where oxidation can increase resistance and generate heat. This connector is designed for use in battery bank assemblies, cable terminations, and similar power distribution connections where a reliable mechanical and electrical bond is required. Electricians and battery system technicians are the typical installers.

This connector is suited for 2/0 AWG applications in residential, commercial, and industrial battery systems, including backup power installations, marine battery banks, and heavy-duty electrical panel connections. It is intended for use wherever a durable, corrosion-resistant copper termination is needed on large-gauge conductors.

Key Features

• Tin-plated copper construction resists oxidation at the contact interface
• Rated for 2/0 AWG conductors, suitable for high-current terminations
• Compact form factor appropriate for tight battery compartment installations
• Single-piece packaging with a minimum order quantity of 5 units

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit connector for 2/0 AWG battery cable termination applications in standard battery and power distribution systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified battery systems technician. Disconnect and isolate all power sources, including battery bank circuits, before beginning any termination work. Use the appropriate crimping tool rated for 2/0 AWG lugs and connectors to ensure a gas-tight connection. Follow applicable NEC requirements for conductor terminations and overcurrent protection in battery systems.
