Robust Anderson Power 6331G8 Connector with Polycarbonate PBT Blend Housing and Silver or Tin Contact Plating
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. They accommodate wire sizes from #16 (1.5 mm) to #6 (13.3 mm) and offer UL-rated currents up to 120 amps. The SB50 connectors are ideal for applications requiring hot-plugging capabilities up to 50 amps and support a single connection system for wire, PCB, and busbar terminations. Available in standard and chemical-resistant housing options, with color-coded mechanical keys for voltage identification.
