Anderson

Reliable Power Transfer with Genuine Anderson Plugs

When building a robust 12V, 24V, or 48V electrical system for your caravan, RV, marine vessel, or 4WD, secure connections are critical. Genuine Anderson plugs are the industry standard for safe, high-current DC power transfer. Whether you are wiring a dual battery system, connecting portable solar blankets, or running a heavy-duty inverter, these connectors ensure your power flows without dangerous resistance or voltage drop.

While many aftermarket alternatives exist, relying on genuine Anderson connectors provides peace of mind. Inferior plugs often use thin, poorly plated contacts and brittle plastics that can melt or fail under heavy loads. Our range exclusively features authentic products equipped with ultra durable polycarbonate housings and solid silver-plated copper contacts, engineered to withstand the harsh conditions of off-grid travel, commercial applications, and industrial use.

If you prefer a plug-and-play solution rather than crimping your own connectors, explore our range of pre-assembled Anderson Extension Leads to quickly extend your solar or battery reach.

Key Features of Authentic Anderson Connectors

• Genderless Design: There are no male or female plugs; any two connectors of the same size and colour will mate seamlessly together.
• Colour-Coded Keying: Housings are mechanically keyed by colour. A grey plug will only connect to another grey plug, preventing accidental cross-connections between different voltage systems (for example, using red for unregulated solar and grey for regulated battery power).
• Silver-Plated Contacts: Ensures maximum conductivity and longevity, minimising power loss even after thousands of mating cycles.
• Heavy-Duty Housings: Built to resist impacts, chemicals, and extreme temperatures across tiny home, truck, and boat installations.

Sizing or Selection Tips for Anderson Connectors

Selecting the right connector depends entirely on your maximum current draw and the cable size you plan to run through your system.

50A Connectors: The most common size for touring setups. Ideal for 12V fridges, portable solar panels, and standard DC-DC chargers. These typically accommodate 6AWG (8 B&S) Automotive Cables.

120A Connectors: A step up for higher demand applications like larger dual battery systems or medium-sized power inverters. These are designed to suit 2AWG (4 B&S) wiring for safe current delivery.

175A & 350A Connectors: Reserved for serious heavy-duty power transfer. Use these for large marine battery banks, high-draw winches, or equipment requiring massive cable gauges like 0AWG or 00AWG Battery/Welding Cables.

Dust Covers: Do not forget to protect your investment. We highly recommend adding a rubber dust cover to any externally mounted plug (such as on a tow bar or camper trailer drawbar) to keep dirt, mud, and water out of the contacts.
