SurLok Plus 120A

Hey, I would like to use those kind of plugs. But there is one thing I do not understand. In the Datasheet it says the smallest applicable cable size is 16mm2. So the 8mm2 of the motor won’t really fit, or will it? I mean how will it be IP67 if the cable is too thin?

Hi, for this SurLok is the screw termination not the crimp

Use the 5.7mm 12a connector. These connectors are designed for 120a at 1000V. Our systems don’t push nearly the same amount of power!

What about the Plug? I get that I can just solder on the Receptacle, but the Plug needs to be watertight were the cable goes into the Plug. And if it is made for 16mm2 or more, how can that work with like 8mm2? Am I just overthinking this?

Hi DaviF,
Did you find a way to go from SuLok to 6mm2 cable?

I had the same issue, but let me tell you that 10AWG and 12 AWG crimps (hydraulic tool from amazon) beautifully. All that i did is that i exposed a bit more wire and folded it into the surlok crimp hole.

When it comes to watertightness i have bough a set of different orings from aliexpress and one of them fits perfectly between Surlok white silicone and my 12AWG wire. Additionally before closing the surlok ive put in a lot of silicone to completely cover the exposed metal in case the oring fails.

Do you have a link for the hydraulic crimper?

Definitely not the best, but does the work
