Re: Anderson power pole connectors

Say Jeff,
I'm wondering about something. I've heard that there are 2 different grades of housing for the powerpole line using the 15,30, and 45 amp terminals. One is supposed to have a tougher plastic housing supposedly.
Can you comment on that?

Thanks
Mike

The standard FRC battery connector is what we call the "SB 50", which is our smallest multi-pole connector. Our part number 6331G2W (which says is for #10 contacts) will also accept a #12 wire.

If you're looking for something smaller, the Powerpole line (which I think may be what you were asking about?) has 30 and 45 amp varieties, both of which can be ordered with a #12 contact.

If you want more information, we have catalogs and datasheets available to browse. Hope this helps!
