These are awesome connectors

For all of you that are wanting a way that you can create a high amperage disconnect for your DC-DC power supplies. I just redid my power supply lines with these powerpole connectors from anderson. They are great, I purchased the 45amp versions but you can get much higher amperage if you need.

I bought mine directly from anderson

you can find them here

now for some pictures of them

as you can see they slide together so you can make custom connectors, I used them to make the 5v and 12v connections diffrent in my dash so I dont plug something in the wrong way

here are my 2 opuses connected up with these connectors

So for anyone that’s looking for a great alternative to crimp connectors I highly recommend these

oh yeah and thanks to scouse for turning me on to these

Don't just take JCDillins reccomendation - they are very very good. I used em on RC cars that destroyed just about any other connector

I knew it was in there, but it was buried deep in a thread, it neds to be out here in the open!! and we needed pictures of them in action

Is there a UK supplier?

**jcdillin** · 07-02-2005, 02:26 PM

Well you might check fleabay, because I was able to get a 2nd batch from there for about the same price

Radio spares and Model shops (but both will not be the cheapest around). Might wanna check CPC/Farnell and Rapid electronics. Or jsut give Anderson a bell and fnd out.

I use these at work with a RigRunner as a bench test rig. Good stuff!

Very cool!
Do any of you know if anyone makes a through-case version of these? I'd like to have my power supply connectors plug into the case, rather than via loose wires....

(By through-case, I mean that the connector mounts to the case using screws, then the opposite connector is joined via a hole in the case.)

If you look at the manufacturers site you will see various mounting options - one be the type of thing you are looking for.

There is also a semi-circle on each connector that forms a full circle for mounting and locking the connectors together.
