Anderson Power Products originated the SB (Storage Battery) connector design to provide high power handling and durability.
The SB 2-pole connector is available in 50, 120, 175, and 350 amp ratings per pole for use to 600 volts continuous AC or DC operation. The SB housing is molded out of rugged UL94VO rated polycarbonate and, in conjunction with APP's flat wiping contacts, offers up to 10,000 mating cycles. The hermaphroditic design of these connectors allows SB connectors to be mated to each other, which simplifies the bills of material. Contacts are available individually for a wide range of wires. Mechanical keys prevents two different voltage coded color housings from mating - eliminates possibility of mismatching power supplies and electrical outlets.
