Versatile Anderson Power 134G1 connector featuring genderless design and color coded mechanical keys
Product Overview
Anderson Power Products (APP) SB50 connectors, pioneered in 1953, set the standard for two-pole DC power distribution and battery connections. These connectors feature a one-piece plastic housing with stainless steel springs to secure low-resistance contacts. They accommodate wire sizes from #16 (1.5 mm) to #6 (13.3 mm) and are available in standard and chemical-resistant housing options. Key features include genderless design, color-coded mechanical keys for polarization, low-resistance silver or tin-plated copper contacts, and UL rating for hot-plugging. The SB50 series offers versatility with wire, PCB, and busbar contact options, making it suitable for a wide range of applications requiring reliable DC power distribution and battery connections.

Based on: 105C rated or better cable of the largest size, properly calibrated APP recommended tooling, and a 25C ambient temperature. UL rating not to exceed the maximum operating temperature. CSA rating below a 30C temperature rise.
Limited by the thermal properties of the connector plastic housing.
Use APP recommended tooling only. Alternate tools may adversely affect the performance of our connectors along with UL and CSA recognition.
