Help Identifying a DC Connector
« on: October 10, 2018, 07:42:12 pm »
I have misplaced a DC connector which is needed to get one of my UPSes to work. I would like to order a new one, but I do not know what this type of connector is called. I have looked through some catalogs but not seen anything that looks similar. The distance between the center of the two pins in the connector is exactly 0.5 inches, but that doesn't help without knowing the name of the connector.

Pictures of the connectors in question:

If any of you know what kind of connector this might be, I'll be very grateful to hear it.

Are they essentially shrouded banana's in some form of holder? Possibly too small?

I'd start with whatever web presence the UPS brand you didn't mention has. You never know, they might actually sell the cable you need. If not, one of their reps may be able to answer the question.

Looks like an MGE or Liebert battery bay shorting connector. I have searched for years for compatible connectors for both those and the 5 pin external pack connectors and got nowhere short of buying expensive second hand or surplus cables and cutting them up. I've never found a source for those shorting plugs other than the battery bay though.

(edit : not shorting connector). I mis-remembered, it's the battery connector for the 72V packs.

Yeah, I suppose I should have mentioned that. It's a Liebert (later Emerson, now Vertiv) UPStation GXT2000RT-120. This line of UPSes has been discontinued for quite a long time and the brand has changed hands twice during that time, so I'm doubtful the company would be of much help. They'd probably suggest buying one of their new (and expensive) GXT4 series models :).

Looks like an MGE or Liebert battery bay shorting connector.

You hit the nail on the head; what I am specifically looking for is the battery shorting connector (connects the two 48 V strands in series to get 96 V after you have installed the battery assembly and are less prone to shorting or accidentally touching the 96 V). But I can build one of those if I can get ahold of the right connectors.

Perfect, thanks - that's exactly what I needed! Much appreciated!
