A black 50A Anderson-style plug and contacts sized for 8mm² cable, for high-current DC connections where black is used to mark a dedicated circuit (accessories, solar, alternate power) or to keep a run visually separate from the standard grey main feeds. Fits caravan supply lines, 4WD dual-battery inlets, camper solar leads, boat trolling-motor connections and workshop test leads.

The housing is Anderson SB50-pattern high-impact polycarbonate that mates only with other black SB50 housings. Contacts are silver-plated copper stampings sized for 8mm² conductor (roughly 8 AWG). The complete plug is rated 50A continuous at up to 600V DC and works from -20°C to +105°C. Each pack ships as one housing plus two contacts, enough for one end of a cable.

Crimp each contact with an Anderson SB50 crimp tool; open-barrel automotive crimpers will not close the barrel correctly and the joint fails under load. Colour is a mechanical key: black only mates with black. Fuse the cable feed at the source for the cable size behind the plug, not at the plug itself.

  • 50A rated — continuous DC current up to 600V
  • Black housing — dedicated circuit or alternate polarity ID
  • 8mm² contacts — silver-plated copper stampings
  • SB50 pattern — mates any Anderson SB50 housing in black
  • Polycarbonate housing — impact and heat resistant
  • Genderless design — one plug mates with itself

Q: Why choose black over grey or red?
Black is used to mark a dedicated circuit (accessories, solar, alternate power) or to keep a run visually separate from the standard grey main feeds. Colour has no electrical effect; it is a mechanical and visual key so that a black plug can never accidentally connect to a grey, red, blue or yellow circuit.

Q: Will this fit with other SB50 connectors?
Only with other black SB50 housings. Anderson SB50 uses colour as a mechanical key, so black only mates with black. It shares the same pattern as grey, red, blue and yellow SB50 but will not physically interlock with them.

Q: What does SB50 mean?
SB stands for Small Block; 50 is the amperage rating. SB50 is Anderson's most common single-pole DC connector, standard on caravan trailer plugs, 4WD dual-battery inlets, battery boxes and portable power stations across Australia.

Q: What cable size does it fit?
8mm² conductor, roughly 8 AWG. The contact barrel is sized for that gauge; smaller cable will not crimp cleanly and larger will not fit.

Q: Do I need a special crimp tool?
An Anderson SB50 crimp tool is the correct tool. Open-barrel automotive crimpers do not close the SB50 contact barrel correctly and the crimp fails under high current or vibration.

Q: Does it come with the contacts?
Yes. Each pack is one housing plus two silver-plated copper contacts sized for 8mm² cable, enough for one end of a run.

Q: Can I use it on a 24V or 48V system?
Yes. All common DC vehicle systems (12V, 24V, 36V, 48V) sit well inside the 600V rating. The 50A current rating is the real-world constraint, not the voltage.

Q: Is this a genuine Anderson?
Anderson-pattern SB50, sourced through Australian distributors. Physically interchangeable with genuine Anderson Power Products SB50 housings and standard SB50 contacts.
