EG4 PowerPro Battery Connector Specs?

Looking to build my own cables for my EG4 PowerPro batteries but am having a hard time finding the specs for the connectors.

I believe the general term for the connectors is Amphenol but that is generic for the style.

I'm located in Canada and Mouser Electronics sell the Radlok version but I'd need to know the specs/size/architecture etc, to ensure I pick up the correct ones.

Signature Solar and others sell them but leave out the specs.

If anyone has purchased the correct ones in Canada, I'd appreciate a heads up.

Cheers!
 
They are manufactured by Degson. They are 250A water tight connectors, but I do not have a model number.
Thank you very much for taking the time to reply. I've found the Degson ones as well. I think the part number is:

ESP-250A-70-BK-00.​


Unfortunately, I can't find them in Canada.

How hard is it for SS to buy a few hundred of each of the connectors for us to buy and use the extra unfinished end cables that come with our batteries to make proper connectors for our installs to look nice? no, we do not want the set of 2 connectors, we want JUST THE "ESP-250A-70-BK-00" for a reasonable price...
 
My EG-4 PowerPro All-Weather WallMounts each came with two sets of single-ended cables and a set of RS-232 and RS-485 cables for programming.

Any idea why yours didn't?

They do, they are listed on their website.

Signature Solar sells the battery cable connector on their website.



If you are missing any cables, you can always contact your distributor.

please read my post: "we do not want the set of 2 connectors, we want JUST THE "ESP-250A-70-BK-00" for a reasonable price... "

I am not missing parts, and I don't want to purchase the 'kit' with both parts and have to save or discard them, and I am fairly certain >90% of customers do not want the 2nd 'lug' connector, either, and want to use the 'extra' cables included with the battery to make shorter interconnections that are the proper length, and not have to spend another hundred bucks on an interconnection cable for the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th battery connected to my 18kPV

TOP-electronics USA in Tucson AZ carries these and ships to Canada
 
Has anyone had any luck finding just the EG4 female battery connectors at a reasonable price?

Or a custom built set of 10-ft long parallel connecting wires (2/0) with the connectors installed - Black/Orange?

I purchased a bunch of those Degson Female connectors from top-electronics but I have yet to have any shipping updates going on five days now. I cant even log into my account with them. Their site keeps telling me my password is wrong but even after I change it using their reset password option it doesnt allow me to login. I emailed them two days ago and have not gotten any response from them at all.
 
FWIW, I did find a source for custom made cables that are very reasonably priced. A set of 10-ft 2/0 cables with the correct connectors (ESP-250A-70-BK-00) on both ends, fully assembled: $194 plus $16 shipping


I have no affiliation.

OK, received my connectors from TOP-Electronics (Very happy with the transaction). I went and got a lifetime supply, may sell some cables on eBay, not sure. But with the flat shipping fee I figured I would buy a bunch and maybe recoup my costs by selling extras. These are relatively hard to find! Time to make some cables!
