The industry-leading Anderson Power Products SB connectors are designed for quick and easy connection and disconnection of high current cables for applications such as battery charging, jump starting, welding etc. The genderless design means that both sides of the connection are identical; simply turn one of the connectors upside down and push them together. SB120 connectors are suitable for currents of up to 240A (in accordance with UL 1977 test specification).
Sold as a single red housing without terminals (2 housings of the same colour are required to make a connection and each housing requires 2 terminals).
Terminals must be purchased separately and are available to fit 16, 25 and 35mm² cable
Various accessories including PVC cable sleeves, handles and connector covers are also available.

Terminals available here
Terminal crimping - Terminals should be crimped to the cable conductor using a suitable tool (a hexagon crimper is recommended). Alternatively the terminals can be soldered to the conductor.
Terminal insertion - Observing the polarity markings, insert the terminal into the connector housing so that the step at the end of the terminal slides along the surface of the sprung metal tab within the housing. Continue pushing the terminal into the housing until a sharp click is heard, which indicates that the tab has latched into place behind the step and the terminal is locked in place.
Terminal removal - Press the sprung metal tabs in the connector housing fully flat using a suitable tool (so that they clear the step on the terminal body) and withdraw the terminal.
