SB® 50 Connectors
Up to 120 amps

Based off the design pioneered by Anderson™ in 1953,
the two pole SB® connectors set the standard for DC power
distribution and battery connections. SB® 50 connectors
feature a one piece plastic housing using stainless steel
springs to hold low resistance contacts in place. Wires
sizes from 16 to 6 AWG (1.5 to 16 mm²) are held in thesmallest of the SB® series housings.
• Low Resistance Silver or Tin Plated Copper Contacts
Allows UL rated currents up to 120 amps

• UL Rated for Hot Plugging up to 50 Amps
Great for battery or other applications where the ability tointerrupt circuits is required• Wire, PCB, and Busbar Contacts
Allows one connection system to meet multiple needsSB® 50 ORDERING INFORMATION
SB® 50 Standard Housings

The smallest SB® housings work with wire contacts up to
6 AWG (16 mm²) as well as PCB, and busbar contacts.
Genderless design mates with itself. Mechanical keys arecolor-coded.
