DX-ASB50P

## DX-ASB50P: Anderson-Style 50A Contact Pin

The DX-ASB50P is the high-conductivity terminal pin designed specifically to seat inside the DX-ASB50 (Red) or any other SB50 series housing. While the housing provides the insulation and mechanical connection, these pins do the heavy lifting of transferring the electrical current.

## Technical Specifications

• Current Rating: 50 Amps (Continuous)

• Material: Solid Copper with Heavy Silver Plating.

  • Silver provides the lowest electrical resistance and prevents “pitting” during high-current arcing.

• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Typically designed for 6 AWG (13.3 $mm^2$) wire, though it can accept 8 AWG or 10 AWG with proper crimping.

• Termination Method: Crimp or Solder (Crimp is recommended for high-vibration environments).

## The Perfect Fit: Pairing with DX-ASB50

These pins are the “internal organs” of the DX-ASB50 housing we discussed previously.

• Mechanical Lock: The pin features a flared “detent” or notch. When pushed into the DX-ASB50 housing, it snaps over an internal stainless steel leaf spring.

• Red Housing Integration: When paired with the Red DX-ASB50 housing, this creates a complete 24V-keyed connection system.

• Genderless Interface: Once seated in the housing, the flat “wiping” surface of this pin will mate perfectly with another DX-ASB50P pin in the opposing connector.

## Why Quality Pins Matter

Using the DX-ASB50P ensures your high-current system remains safe. Low-quality or “thin” pins can lead to:

1. Voltage Drop: Reducing the efficiency of your chargers or motors.

2. Heat Buildup: Poor contact points can melt the plastic housing (DX-ASB50).

3. Corrosion: The silver plating on these pins is essential for long-term outdoor or marine use.

Pro-Tip: To ensure a “Proper Description” for your catalog, always list these as a Recommended Accessory for the DX-ASB50 housing. A standard Anderson connection requires two housings and four pins (two per side) to create a complete link.
