175A Anderson Plug | SB175 Compatible | Heavy-Duty DC Connector | Industrial & EV

Overview

The 175A Anderson style connector is the go-to choice for high-current DC connections in

industrial, commercial, and serious off-grid applications. Rated at 175 amps continuous and 600V

DC, the SB175-style connector suits cable up to 35mm² (2 B&S) and is widely used in electric

forklifts, large battery storage systems, industrial DC equipment, caravan power feeds, and high-

output solar installations where the load exceeds what a 50A or 120A can safely handle.

At 175 amps, you're in territory where a wrong connection or an underrated connector is a genuine

fire risk. The mechanically keyed housing on this connector physically prevents cross-mating with

any other rated connector in the SB range — so even in a busy workshop or install bay, the wrong

connector simply won't go in. That's not a feature, it's a safety standard.

Key Features

• 175A continuous current rating — handles extreme DC loads in industrial and commercial

applications

• 600V DC rated — suitable for 12V through high-voltage DC systems

• Genderless / hermaphroditic design — identical connectors both ends, no plug/socket

designation

• Silver-plated copper contacts — flat-wiping contact system minimises resistance and self-

cleans

• Mechanically keyed housing — physically incompatible with 50A, 120A, and 350A

connectors

• Impact-resistant polycarbonate housing — rated for industrial mobile environments and

harsh conditions

• Operating temperature: -20°C to +105°C

• Suits 2 B&S / 35mm² cable

• Up to 10,000 rated connect/disconnect cycles

Ideal Applications

• Electric forklift and industrial vehicle battery connections

• Large lithium and AGM battery storage systems

• UPS and emergency power battery bus connections
