What's Included?
Sold individually. Includes colored plastic housing that accepts crimped contact. Quantity 1 includes 1 colored plastic housing. Does not include metal contacts (sold separately)

15, 30 & 45 amp Powerpole connectors will mate with each other
The 15, 30 & 45 amp contacts all use the same housing. Therefore, they all connect to each other. The size of the flat contact area is the same for all contacts. The only difference between the 15, 30 & 45 amp contacts is the size of the receiving barrel that accepts the wire.

15 amp contacts are recommended for 20-16 gauge wire
30 amp contacts are recommended for 14-12 gauge wire
45 amp contacts are recommended for 10 gauge wire

Powerpole connectors are both genderless and polarized connectors
Powerpole connectors are genderless, meaning the supply and load connectors are the same. Since there are no male or female parts, all Powerpole connectors mate with themselves.

Powerpole connectors become polarized when the red and black housings slide together via molded-in dovetails on the housings. Connections can be quickly made and remade sightlessly or in the dark.

High current rating, low resistance
The size of the wire a Powerpole contact will accept is the primary limitation of their ability to carry a load. The size of the flat contact area is actually the same for all 15, 30 & 45 amp contacts. Powerpole connectors will safely handle higher loads or surges, please read the data sheet for additional information.

The contacts are made of highly conductive silver or tin plated copper for minimal contact resistance at high currents. The average contact resistance is 600 micro-ohms.

Durable polycarbonate housing
The Powerpole insulated housings use a durable, high impact-resistant, high temperature polycarbonate plastic with a UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The connector design allows air to flow through the housing, assisting in cooling.

Powerpole housings have a modular design that allows for multi-pole (multi-conductor) configurations. Housings slide together via molded-in dovetails.

'new' brown color is horrible By Guest

Note - that as of 2024, the brown color appears almost black.
We have heard directly from Anderson that this is the color they ship.
The photos on Powerwerx site do reflect the brown color that is shipping, but the brown color on the Anderson website is the old color.
(In the photo with all the colors on the Powerwerx site, the Middle back connector (between the white and lavender) is what Anderson Power is shipping as Brown.
If you need brown, I suggest you find an alternate - OR do what I did, which is DYE another color. I have successfully use White and Gray to create a unique Brown color using iDYE Poly. If you require listing acceptance, I cannot comment on what this does to that.
Good Luck... And let Anderson know this is unacceptable.

Roll pin workaround By Guest

So far, so good with them here. As a very low cost and short-circuit proof alternative to roll pins for holding housings together when future disassembly would be useful; none other than plastic string trimmer line, the round 0.095 diameter stuff. Yep, it is an easy slip fit. May need to cut the insertion end with knife to get a smooth enough cut to fit through the opening. After in place, cutting both ends with diagonal pliers flares 'em out enough to stay put. Easy push-out removal with small screwdriver or healthy paper clip, aided by pliers as needed. Hoping useful, 73 KI7MBR

Needs additional notches for vertical stacking By Guest

Horizontally connected, these work fine - you can use a roll pin or similar device to fasten them more securely, or to connect two together, or as a means to mount them to a panel. But if they're stacked horizontally (which is important to REMOVE polarity from a connection, commonly used on model railroads to ensure that the track polarity lines up from module to module no matter which end is connected) there's no place for a roll pin or other fastening item. It would seem to be pretty simple, just extend the half-circle indent to all 4 sides instead of the two sides it's on now.

Powerpole housing By Al

These work just great and the vast array of colors makes color coding of leads easy.

Quick and easy By Sherman@shackscs.com

I have used these before in my RC helicopter days. Re-disovered while needing a reliable and quick setup for my Reef Aquarium LED light fixture build.

The many colors make it easy to distiguish the many wires that I am running.

Definately one of the best power related products that I have found.

APP for Model Railroading By Kurt Konrath

Many in the modular model railroading groups are starting to conver to APP connections over older Cinch Jones style plugs. Simple to use and configure

Best Price Online By Rustom

Powerpoles are a quick and easy way to make reliable electrical connectors, and Powerwerx has the best prices online. The only (minor) issue is that if you are new to Powerpoles, the documentation is a bit thin. I wrote a pretty detailed tutorial on using Powerpoles, which you can find at the link below:
