Anderson® PowerPole® connector rood-zwart

15A, 30A, 45A or 75A Anderson® PowerPole® connector - 1 pair includes one connector in red + black each. The Anderson® PowerPole® connectors housings are identical, but have different contacts to fit different cable diameters (AWG = American Wire Gauge).

For electric contacts we recommend Anderson® PowerPole® connectors because of their decisive advantages:

• stackable in any order and number
• reverse current protected
• colour coded
• can either be soldered or crimped with special crimping tool

Please Note: Anderson® PowerPole® connectors do not have any male or female connector parts.
All connector housings are identical. When stacked one dovetail points upwards, the other points downwards.

Anderson® PowerPole® connectors scope of supply:

• 1x connector housings in red
• 1x connector housings in black
• 1x fixing pin
• 2x metal contacts (here: size 15), to be selected according to cable diameter

Tools needed:

with 15A, 30A and 45A (see shop: aeapcrimp01)

How to install Anderson® PowerPole® connectors

pic. 1: Anderson® PowerPole® connectors are genderless connectors. They can be connected in many different ways. Mostly the stacked variety is used, as shown here.










pic. 2: First, remove the isolation from the wire. If necessary, twist wires by hand, so they don\'t fray.











pic. 3: Wire is inserted into the contact as shown here. Make sure that the contact is flush with the isolation and no wires remain visible.











pic. 4: Put the contact into the slot of appropriate size (15A, 30A or 45A). Make sure the contact hook points downwards. After crimping, check that the contact fits the wires tightly by pulling them.












The most common problem source is a badly crimped contact. Check in advance if the contact has been crimped correctly by pulling the cable. The cable must not disconnect from the contact.

Three examples for incorrect crimping:

Example 1:

Wires must not protrude from the contacts.

Example 2:

There must be no gap between contact and isolation. Contact must be flush with the wires.

Example 3:

The contact\'s hook must not point upwards.

pic. 5: Inside the connector housings there\'s small metal latches. Insert contact into housing. The hooks must point downwards in order to lock behind the metal latch. When you hear a click, the contact has reached its correct position.










pic. 6: If the contact is properly inserted you can see the hook when you look at the connector from the front. Pull the cable to make sure it is fixed tightly with the housing.










pic. 7: Connect housing by sliding one into the other. In the end the red housing has to be on the right side. Finally insert the fixing pin into the round opening.











pic. 8: Finally, stack the Anderson® PowerPole® connectors as shown.

How to remove contacts from the Anderson® PowerPole® connectors

pic. 9: To remove the contact from the housing lift the contact hook with a small screwdriver. This way the fixture loosens and you can remove the cable.











pic. 10: After the removal of the contact the hook may be bent. Before inserting it again, you should bend it back to its correct form.











pic. 11: This is how the contact should eventually look like. The hook is in upright position again and can be continued to use.
