These connectors are mentioned in numerous threads, so I thought I would post this question as an information verification thread for this connector.
Well I embarked on a quest today to find my SB-120 connectors. I am going withe bulkhead fitting https://www.etsy.com/listing/7780785...e_recs_5&sca=1 as it is a better fit to what space I will have on the truck wall - it also can be gotten in other colors per the seller.
Now about the SB-120 connectors WOW! = talk about knockoffs being out there. You really need to be careful on Amazon - they say Anderson but thier not!
So I went to the source
https://www.andersonpower.com/us/en/...6&wire_size=44
They list authorized dealer on thier web page that are cheaper than amazon and I know I will get the real product
To my surprise that have two models Chemical Resistant(CR) and Std. CR can go to -40F while std is only good to -4. So to me the CR is a bit tougher - not that I would be camping at -4 mind you, but it does get that cold here.
This size is also popular and many places are back-ordered, so if I need to wait might as well got for the CR units - thoughts?
Boots
Second thing learned. While the connectors are gender neutral - one flips over to connect with the other the environmental boot are not. Not sure why?
Load side boot is https://www.andersonpower.com/us/en/...over-load.html Part # 3-63035P1
Source side is https://www.andersonpower.com/us/en/...er-source.html Part # 3-63034P1
They look the same in pictures, but what is the difference in real life?
So if I may ask, where did you source your connectors and did you go with the CR ones and if not any durability issues? Also how are you boots holding up if you used them?
Thanks
