50A Anderson Style Plug: The Standard for Reliable 12V/24V Connections

Ensure a secure, high-conductivity power connection for your 4WD, caravan, solar, or industrial setup with this Premium 50 Amp Anderson Style Connector. Designed for harsh Australian conditions, this connector features a rugged, impact-resistant polycarbonate housing and silver-plated copper terminals to minimize resistance and heat buildup.

🔒 Safety First: When dealing with high-current connections like 50A, circuit protection is mandatory. Pair this connector with a high-quality fuse. Check out our guide: **The Ultimate Guide to High-Current Fuse Protection**.

✅ Key Features & Benefits:

• High-Current Capacity: Rated for 50 Amps continuous current, making it ideal for battery charging, fridges, and solar inputs.

• Silver-Plated Terminals: Includes 2x solid copper contacts with silver plating to offer the lowest electrical resistance and superior conductivity compared to tin-plated alternatives.

• Self-Cleaning Contacts: The design features a "low detente" wiping action that cleans the contact surface during disconnection, ensuring a reliable connection every time.

• Versatile Termination: Contacts are designed to accept 6 AWG (approx. 13.3mm²) wire and can be either crimped or soldered depending on your tooling and preference.

• Genderless Design: No separate "male" or "female" plugs. Simply rotate one plug 180 degrees to connect to another of the same size and color.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Q: Is there a male and female version of this plug?
A: No, these connectors are "genderless." The design allows any 50A Grey connector to plug into any other 50A Grey connector by flipping one upside down. This prevents accidental reverse polarity connections.

Q: Can I crimp these without a specialized tool?
A: For the best reliability (Expertise), we recommend using a proper 50A hydraulic crimper or indentation crimper. However, these terminals can also be soldered using a blow torch and solder if you do not have a heavy-duty crimper.
