Compact Anderson Power 992-BK connector featuring genderless design and mechanical keys for versatile electrical connections
SB 50 Connectors
Product Overview
Building on the legacy of Anderson's pioneering design from 1953, the SB 50 connectors are the industry standard for DC power distribution and battery connections. These two-pole connectors feature a robust one-piece plastic housing secured by stainless steel springs, ensuring low-resistance contact. Designed to accommodate wire sizes from 16 to 6 AWG (1.5 to 13.3 mm), they offer versatile solutions for various applications. Key advantages include low resistance silver or tin-plated copper contacts for high current capacity, UL rating for hot-plugging up to 50 Amps, and compatibility with wire, PCB, and busbar contacts, allowing for a unified connection system.
