Overview

The ABB SKC6G is a robust 5-pole, 6-wire female connector designed for demanding industrial applications. This connector, part of the S-E Series, offers a 500V and 16A rating, ensuring reliable power and signal transmission. A key feature is its external shroud, which provides essential protection for the female contacts against environmental contaminants like dust and moisture, as well as mechanical stress. This enhanced protection is critical for maintaining connection integrity in harsh industrial settings. The SKC6G is engineered for versatility, supporting various terminal types including crimp, screw, spring, and push-in connections, allowing for flexible installation based on specific needs. Crimp contacts are sold separately. The connector is compatible with Size 6B housings, available in multiple configurations such as top entry, side entry, surface mount, and bulkhead designs. Thread options include M20, M25, M32, and M40, with 'HC' (High Construction) variants and 'x2' (double entry) options for specific mounting requirements. Housings with automatic covers are also available for added contact protection when not in use. Ideal for power distribution, automation systems, and control cabinets, the ABB SKC6G provides secure and durable connectivity where performance and longevity are paramount. Manufactured in the US.
