Anderson Power Products
®
A16 Male DIN 43589-1
Features
• Impact resistant plastic housing
PA6 (Nylon) housings provide superior impact
resistance to stand up to rough usage
EBC Connectors
The Anderson Power Products “A” Series Euro
Battery Connector (EBC) uses the DIN43589-1
form factor which has been specially configured
for North American fast battery charging systems.
Unlike other DIN43589-1 connectors, our “A”
Series offers contact and crimp tooling selections
developed for both American Wire Gauge and
Metric cable. We also offer a broader range of
auxiliary wire contacts for communication control
applications.
The connector design incorporates an
advanced, cost effective contact carrier for ease
of assembly and fewer components. All materials
are selected to ensure years of reliable service
under adverse battery environments.
• Up to four auxiliary contacts
Can be used for battery monitoring and charger
communications. Auxiliary contact sizes available
from 10AWG to 18AWG.
• Low mating forces
Connectors can be mated and unmated without
the necessity of added hardware
• Hexagonal voltage key for
24V, 36V, 48V, 72V, 80V, or 96V
Key prevents mating of different operating voltages
Note: Will not mate with “E” Series Housings

* Current derating curves must be observed as current capacity will vary dependent on wire cross
section and ambient temperature. Maximum current carrying capacity is measured at 40°C /
104°F using the maximum wire cross section permissible, crimped to contacts using APP
recommended tooling.
