Anderson Power Products
Overview
Anderson Power Products' Powerpole connectors are elegantly designed little connectors. They are designed so that they are color-coded (Red for +, Black for -) and they are symmetrical in such a way that the same connector type can be used on both sides of the connection. There really is no "male" or "female" connector. Only one connector does it all. Also, it is impossible to connect them incorrectly. They only connect one way. Also, they are inexpensive - which is nice!
I stock only one size of the Powerpole connectors. It is rated at 15 Amps - which is plenty for all electronics in sailplanes.
