Anderson Power 3-6018P1
Product Overview
The SB Smart Connector is engineered for applications requiring intelligent battery system interaction. It integrates high-power connections (up to 230 Amps) with a comprehensive set of auxiliary power and signal positions (up to 15 Amps each) into a single interconnect solution. This design streamlines wiring by allowing high-power lines, low-power lines, and signal circuits to be managed through one connection. A key feature is its selective keyed housings, which prevent incorrect mating scenarios, such as motors connecting to chargers. The connector supports intelligent power switching, battery monitoring, CAN communication, and other signal or power circuits.
