EBC Connectors

A32 Male DIN 43589-1

The Anderson Power Products “A” Series Euro Features
Battery Connector (EBC) uses the DIN43589-1
form factor which has been specially configured • Impact resistant plastic housing
for North American fast battery charging systems. PA6 (Nylon) housings provide superior impact
resistance to stand up to rough usage
Unlike other DIN43589-1 connectors, our “A”
Series offers contact and crimp tooling selections • Up to four auxiliary contacts
developed for both American Wire Gauge and Can be used for battery monitoring and charger
communications. Last mate - first break, auxiliary
Metric cable. We also offer a broader range of
contact sizes available from 10AWG to 18AWG.
auxiliary wire contacts for communication control
applications.
• Low mating forces
Connectors can be mated and unmated without
The connector design incorporates an
the necessity of added hardware
advanced, cost effective contact carrier for ease
of assembly and fewer components. All materials
• Hexagonal voltage key for
are selected to ensure years of reliable service
under adverse battery environments. 24V, 36V, 48V, 72V, 80V, or 96V
Key prevents mating of different operating voltages
Note: Will not mate with “E” Series Housings
