The 40A Anderson style connector delivers reliable, genderless DC connectivity for lighter high-
current applications where the larger 50A housing isn't required. Rated to 600V DC and built from
impact-resistant polycarbonate with silver-plated copper contacts, this connector is the go-to
choice for 12V solar branch circuits, portable power setups, auxiliary lighting, and communications
equipment.
If you're wiring up a solar branch circuit, a 12V lighting harness, or a radio communications rig and
you need a connector that's compact, secure, and won't let you down in the field — this is it. The genderless design means both ends of your cable use the same connector, cutting down on stock
and eliminating polarity guesswork.
Key Features
• 40A continuous current rating — ideal for moderate DC loads up to 40 amps
• 600V DC rated — suitable for 12V, 24V, and 48V systems
• Genderless / hermaphroditic design — same connector both ends, no plug/socket
confusion
• Silver-plated copper contacts — high conductivity, low resistance, corrosion resistant
• Impact-resistant polycarbonate housing — handles vibration, dust, and knocks
• Operating temperature: -20°C to +105°C — suited to Australian conditions
• Colour-coded housing — prevents accidental cross-mating with different-rated connectors
• Quick connect/disconnect — tool-free mating for fast installs and servicing
• Suits 10–12AWG (4–6mm²) cable
Ideal Applications
• Solar panel branch circuits and PV junction boxes
• 12V auxiliary lighting in 4WDs, camper trailers, and caravans
• Ham radio and amateur communications equipment
• Portable power stations and battery banks
• Robotics and FIRST Robotics Competition builds
• DIY 12V and 24V electrical projects
