The industry-leading SB connectors from Anderson Power Products are ideal for rapid and easy connection and disconnection of high current cables in applications such as battery charging, jump starting and welding. The connectors are designed as genderless so both sides of the connection are identical; simply turn one of the connectors upside down and slide them together. SB350 connectors are suitable for currents of up to 500A (in accordance with UL 1977 test specification).
Sold as a single grey 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 50mm²
Various accessories including PVC cable sleeves, handles and connector covers are also available.
Features
- Genderless design
- Low connection force with high terminal contact force
- Connector housings are mechanically keyed by colour to prevent cross-connections
- Sacrificial terminal tip to contain damage caused by arc during 'hot' disconnect
- 'Flat wiping' action self-cleans the terminal contact faces as they mate
- Moulded polarity markings on connector body

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.
