Anderson Power Connector, 45amp, (2 red, 2 black)

45 Amp Unassembled Red/Black Anderson Powerpole Connectors

Overview:

Recommended for use with 10 gauge wire. Unassembled sets can be assembled in any configuration. An included slotted roll pin prevents the housings from sliding apart.

Powerpole connectors are genderless, meaning the supply and load connectors are the same. Since there are no male or female parts, all Powerpole connectors mate with themselves.

Powerpole connectors become polarized when the red and black housings slide together via molded-in dovetails on the housings. Connections can be quickly made and remade sightlessly or in the dark.

This system allows for minimal contact resistance at high current. The self-wiping action cleans contact surfaces during connection/disconnection. The contacts are rated at 10,000 no-load connect/disconnect cycles. When two pairs are mated together, it takes approximately 3 pounds of tension to pull them apart.

Good connectors should not lose contact tension under use or vibration. Powerpole connectors use a stainless steel spring which applies 25 lbs. of pressure to hold the tin-plated copper contacts firmly together and maintain constant contact. This is ideal for frequent connect/disconnect cycles. Other cheaper connectors simply depend upon soft copper that eventually spreads apart and becomes loose.

Features:

• Flat wiping contact system allows for minimal contact resistance at high current, wiping action cleans contact surface during connection/disconnection
• Interchangeable genderless design makes assembly quick and easy and reduces the number of parts stocked
• Silver-plated contacts (tin also offered on 15/45) offer the greatest longevity when using high power and elevated temperature applications
• Colored coded housings help to ensure that connectors are assembled and mated correctly
• Molded-in dovetails secure individual connectors together
• Powerpole ground housings green housing is a visual identification of ground that uses the pre-mate contacts terminal
• Chemical resistant housings available
• UL94 V-0 housing material provides security in the knowledge that the connector chosen meets strict flammability ratings
• High power density offers up to 55 amps in a compact footprint
• Wire-to-wire and wire-to-board configurations wire and PCB contacts can be used in the same housings
• Fingerproof housings protect against accidental contact with live circuits
