Durable Anderson Power 6331G12 Connector Featuring Stainless Steel Springs and Copper Alloy Contacts
Product Overview
The Anderson Power Products (APP) SB 50 connectors, based on a design pioneered in 1953, set the standard for DC power distribution and battery connections. These two-pole connectors feature a one-piece plastic housing with stainless steel springs to secure low-resistance contacts. The SB 50 series is versatile, accommodating wire sizes from #16 (1.5 mm) to #6 (13.3 mm), and offers options for low resistance silver or tin-plated copper contacts, enabling UL-rated currents up to 120 amps. They are UL-rated for hot plugging up to 50 amps, making them ideal for applications requiring circuit interruption, such as battery systems. The SB 50 connectors support wire, PCB, and busbar contacts, providing a unified connection system for diverse needs. Housings are mechanically keyed and color-coded for voltage identification.
