What is an Anderson plug?
A specialised socket at the end of what we call a ‘charge circuit’. It allows charge from the car battery to flow through the connection with minimal voltage drop. The unique pins gives a firm grip to stop disconnection under extreme vibration and the terminals are self cleaning making them ideal for a 4WD environment.
Why do we use them?
They allow for a higher amp. They can take 50 to 175 amps depending on the model. Great for sending power from your vehicle to an electric winch on a boat trailer, dual battery system, portable air compressor. Another great feature is they have water resistant covers which helps with a permanent installation, both ends are identical, but the design allows them to lock together to produce a very good contact between two cables
Anderson plugs do not have a male of female component. They simply plug into each other making them extremely universal, an advantage when buying as you don’t have to look for the male and female version they are the same.
What is an “Anderson Style Plug” ?
A copy or “similar style” of plug, mostly made from inferior products. Be very careful of these plugs and they are usually not as robust and can cause electrical drama on the road.
These plugs even include the GENUINE ANDERSON TERMINAL / LUGS with the “A” symbol stamped into them BEWARE OF IMITATIONS!
