SUA1000I battery connector. Where I can buy this part?

[Anonymous user]

Hello!

I need this thing:

This thing called like "battery connector". Right? Is that possible to buy it from APC? Esp. in Russia.

Thank you!

this is 60 Ampere fuse (see the top of fuse for number)....you can buy it in any store with electronics, so as "fast on" connecting plugs 4 pcs and 2 pcs of wire 4mm^2 you need.....so you can assemble it by yourself in less then 5 minutes...

i have few dozens of original fuses like that, i can sell you few for few bucks, but i am afraid how shipping price will be expensive if you are out of EU 😞

I see from your picture that one of the F2 terminals (the white part in the top right of the picture) appears to have some heat damage (yellowing). That generally indicates a poor connection (high current + poor connection = high heat).

The fuse itself is just the blue piece. I don't know of any place that sells the complete assembly - when I need them, I make the cables myself.

I believe this is a connector from a battery pack. If you purchase a genuine APC RBC, it should come with the fuse and other components already installed.

Thanks for the reply.

I need this part brand new, because I want to sell this UPS. And this connector is damaged more than it seems on the first photo:

This connector was damaged because of batteries - swelled, so I had to disassemble UPS to remove them:

It is not uncommon for this model, I'll tell you 😞

The metal part of the connector is AMP / Tyco 790319-3. One vendor of this part is Newark / Element14 - Link

The white plastic cover is AMP / Tyco 154719-1. Newark / Element14 - Link

Note that the connectors are crimped onto the wire with specialized (expensive) tooling. Also, please remember that is not supported or recommended by APC.

hey, lets not make a "rocket science" about simple "fuse bridge" :))

to make it simple; it just needs to cut the old and damaged "fast on" plugs and plastic covers, buy a new one in any electronics or electric equipment&material shop for 10-15 cents per piece, crimp it with simple small pliers, put the plastic covers on and AMEN,....thats it....simplest, fastest and cheapest solution, but still professional .....and fact that "fuse bridge" will be 10mm shorter doesnt chage the originality of that bridge...nor it changes performance of battery or UPS.....the matter fact, that fuse bridge should be as short as possible, because it is increasing "internal resistance" of battery if we speak in manner of "rocket science" about performance...

the best solution for stacking batteries in serial connection would be if we could connect plus of one battery with minus of other battery directly with a bridge not longer then 10mm and solder it to make a solid joint that cant oxidate by time and increase internal resistance off battery pack....but soldering isnt practical for several reasons, but thats for another topic 🙂

The original poster asked what the part was and where he could buy it, and I told him.

The days of going to a nearby electronics store and buying a part like that are long gone, at least here in the US. If the original poster is in the US, send me a friend request so you can PM me, and I'll throw a couple in an envelope and send them out.

The only thing I disagree with in your reply is the "crimp it with simple small pliers" bit - it is very hard to get a good crimp connection with pliers, especially if the connection will be carrying a lot of current. If the correct crimper is not available, I would strongly suggest making as good a connection as possible with pliers and then soldering the wire into the connector.

Of course, an APC RBC will come pre-wired with the fuse. But I can understand the desire to save money.

indeed, soldering all kind of plugs are always the best solution!!

i have a yacht at sea, its mandatory to solder all joints of plugs and wires because it oxidate within a year if not soldered...similar thing is in cars with millions of plugs....most of plugs goes burnt because of weak joint or oxidation of joint......i have repair tons of air conditioning fan connectors with 3-4 speeds selector especially coz of that problem....after i crimp+solder the new ones, it never got back on service for that reason anymore 🙂
