Benefits for your business

Using the Anderson SBE160 connector allows you to have reliable, safe, and long-lasting battery connections, reducing the risk of overheating, false contacts, and unexpected downtime. Its resistance to acids and impacts makes it particularly suitable for warehouses, workshops, and plants with intensive work cycles, improving operational continuity and reducing long-term maintenance costs.

Applications and compatibility notes

• Ideal for:

  • Electric forklifts and pallet trucks

  • Electric vehicles and logistics machines

  • Industrial power systems and battery charging benches

• Always select the correct color and voltage (24V / 36V / 48V / 80V) according to your system.

• Check the cable cross-section (35–50 mm²) and compatibility with the existing housing.

• For replacements on forklifts or systems already in use, compare the model with the manufacturer's OEM code or with the original connector to avoid mating errors.
