treebloke Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Any idea who sell's the heavy duty cable connectors like Si and the AA use on their jump leads and how hard/easy is it to fit them to the cable?. I want to make my rear winch easily removeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orgasmic Farmer Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Think they are known as Anderson connectors or Fork-lift plugs? bit like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Anderson-Power-SB175...9QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpb Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 There Anderson Connectors, the cable is crimped or solderd in to the metal crimp. These are then pushed into plastic housing. They come in different colours which signifys their current rating. Your local Auto Electrical Factor or Truck Parts Shop should stock them.

Porny Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I have plugs, cable, and a crimping tool.... Could sort them out if you want to come and have a look at my tree!! Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headhunter Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Really easy to fit to the connectors especially if you have a crimper, mine does it in seconds but cost around £120. However some people use a vice, some a hammer, some solder. You could make a crimper using a small solid block of steel, cut a vee shape out of it, place the connector in the vee with the wire pushed in, place this in a vice with an appropriate sized ball bearing opposite the vee and tighten the vice. The crimp will be similar to the one I make with the proper crimper. A bit fiddly but it should work. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roguevogue Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 They come in different colours which signifys their current rating. Not so, the different colours are used for different voltages on UPS instalations and they only fit like coloured connectors. Not to suggest that all dissimilar colours don't fit together.

JDB Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Anderson connectors are about £6 each on Ebay... Price depends on size as they say! I have some spare brand new 350 Amp ones(with covers and handles) that some one can have at cost. Will dig out details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpodmore Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 i got mine from an old milk float Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milemarker Type S Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I got my Anderson connectors cheap from a company on e-bay... they came fully Anderson branded. Very easy to fit as long as you can crimp the fittings on the the cables- a mate did mine with a large hydraulic jobby at his work... I use mine for my jump leads and they are ideal as they cannot be connected the wrong way round and I cannot get to the battery without removing my front seat!!
