Electrical specifications cover requirements to 48 volts DC and to 240 amps of power. Manufactured from materials that resist exposure to diesel fuel, as well as oil and brake fluids, APD connectors have a bayonet locking system to cope with high vibration.

For ultra-heavy duty usage, the APD 19/51 way additionally offers a secondary locking feature for contact installation and guaranteed contact alignment. All APD connectors are color-coded and have mechanical keying for ease of use.
