REMA DIN160 160A Male Female Forklift Battery Connector, Acid-Proof PP Terminal Shell, 150V DC

DIN160 Naming, REMA Compatibility

The same connector appears under several names depending on who is selling it: DIN160, REMA160, EC160. What matters for a replacement is that the dimensions follow IEC60309-1:1999 and the mating geometry matches what is on the truck. This DIN160 male and female set is rated 160A at 600V, PP shell with T2 silver plating.

Specifications

Same Part, Different Labels

Buyers often search for a DIN160 and receive a quote for a REMA160, or the reverse. The connector family is shared, the standard is shared, and the practical question is whether the mating dimensions and current rating match the application. This set is specified at 160A, 600V, to IEC60309-1:1999, which is the information a fitter actually needs.

For a fleet with mixed paperwork, that means one part number can serve trucks delivered under either label.

• DIN160 male and female set, 160A / 600V
• IEC60309-1:1999 dimensions
• PP shell, T2 silver-plated terminals
• IP20, -20℃ to 105℃, CE / UL / TUV

Acid-Proof in a Naming Convention That Ignores It

Nothing in the name DIN160 tells you whether the connector is acid-proof, yet that property decides how long it lasts in a battery room. The shell material and the plating are what make the difference; both are specified here, and both can be checked against a sample before a batch order.

Ordering the Right Half and the Right Set

Sets are supplied as male and female together, which is the reliable way to replace a worn interface. Where only one half is damaged, the other can still be inspected against the new part before deciding whether to keep it.

Stock sets ship in three to five working days, tailored builds in five to seven days after payment.

Reading a Cross-Reference Correctly

Catalogues list this family under DIN160, REMA160 and EC160, sometimes with different suffixes. The reliable comparison points are the standard (IEC60309-1:1999), the rating (160A at 600V), the shell and terminal materials, and the protection class. If those four match, the part will do the job regardless of which label the invoice carries.

Inspection After Fitting

Mate the new set once by hand before the truck returns to service, confirm the latch engages on both halves, and check that neither lead is under tension at the gland. After the first week of charging, feel both housings: a difference between them usually points at a crimp rather than at the connector.

Sets are stocked, so a replacement can be fitted during the same service visit rather than ordered in a hurry afterwards.

Storage and Shelf Life

Connectors store well in a dry area away from solvents and direct sun. Silver plating does not deteriorate in normal storage, but a housing left under UV for years can lose impact strength, so stock rotation is worth the small effort.

Where the same connector is used across several trucks, keeping the packaging reference makes reordering straightforward: the part number and the standard identify the build, and the certificate copies travel with the shipment for markets that require them.
