Thomas Betts 17044-BD Battery Connector 1/0 Awg

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 17044-BD is a tin plated copper battery connector rated for 1/0 AWG wire. It is designed for use in battery cable termination applications where a reliable, corrosion-resistant electrical connection is required. The tin plating over the copper base provides added protection against oxidation, helping maintain low-resistance contact over time. This connector is suited for installation by licensed electricians and experienced electrical technicians working on battery systems, charging circuits, and related power distribution assemblies.

This connector is used in battery termination and heavy-gauge wiring applications across residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. It accommodates 1/0 AWG conductors and is finished in black, making it straightforward to identify polarity when used alongside standard color-coded battery cable assemblies. It is packaged as a single unit.

Key Features

• Tin plated copper construction resists oxidation and supports lasting electrical conductivity
• Rated for 1/0 AWG maximum wire size
• Black color finish for polarity identification in battery cable assemblies
• Compact form factor suited for tight battery compartment installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit battery connector for systems using 1/0 AWG battery cables requiring tin plated copper terminations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable NEC guidelines. Always disconnect and isolate the battery system before beginning work on any terminal connections. Use appropriate crimping tools rated for 1/0 AWG conductors to ensure a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Do not overtighten or deform the connector barrel during installation.
