wire to board Anderson Power BMPP10-45P connector supports 55 amps and features finger proof housing
Product Overview
The Anderson Powerpole PP15-45 series offers the smallest Powerpole housings, designed for versatile wire-to-wire or wire-to-board applications. These connectors support wire sizes from #20 AWG (0.75 mm) to #10 (6 mm), providing power capabilities up to 55 amps per pole. Features include finger-proof housings for enhanced safety against accidental contact with live circuits and the option for first-mate last-break ground connectors. Their high power density in a compact footprint makes them suitable for demanding applications.
