Amphenol AXC500H6-2 50A Heavy Duty Power Connector, Black - 1 Pair with Terminals

Premium Amphenol power connectors built for high-current applications where reliability isn't optional

Product Overview

The Amphenol AXC500H6-2 delivers industrial-grade 50A connectivity in a colour-coded housing that makes polarity mistakes nearly impossible. These UL-certified connectors handle 600V applications with silver-plated contacts engineered for 10,000 mating cycles—perfect for dual battery setups, portable solar arrays, inverter connections, and heavy-duty 12V systems where Anderson plugs won't cut it. Each pack includes one male and one female connector with crimp terminals suited to 6AWG/6B&S cable. Whether you're wiring a touring rig, workshop equipment, or a marine electrical system, these connectors provide tool-free connection and disconnection without sacrificing current-carrying capacity.

Features & Benefits

Quick Connect/Disconnect Design – No tools required for connection or separation, making system reconfiguration or equipment swaps fast and frustration-free in the field or workshop.

Colour-Coded Keyed Housings – Physical keying prevents backwards insertion while colour coding eliminates guesswork when you're connecting multiple circuits or working in low light conditions.

10,000 Mating Cycles – Unlike cheaper connectors that wear out after a season, these Amphenol units handle repeated connection and disconnection across years of use—ideal for portable equipment, touring setups, or commercial applications.

Silver Plated Contacts – Superior conductivity and corrosion resistance compared to tin or brass alternatives, maintaining low contact resistance even in marine or high-humidity environments.

UL Certification – Third-party tested safety compliance gives you confidence in commercial installations, insurance claims, and electrical inspections.

50A Capacity at 600V – Handles heavy loads without voltage drop or overheating—suitable for large inverters, high-output alternators, battery banks, or industrial equipment connections.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size cable do these Amphenol connectors accept?

These accept up to 6AWG (also known as 6B&S in Australian wire sizing), suitable for most 50A applications including dual battery and inverter installations.

Are these compatible with Anderson-style plugs?

No, these are Amphenol-specific connectors with a different form factor and keying system. They're not interchangeable with Anderson SB or other brands.

Can I use these connectors for solar panel connections?

Absolutely—these are rated for 600V DC applications, making them well-suited for high-voltage solar arrays, battery interconnects, and charge controller wiring.

Do I need special tools to crimp the terminals?

You'll need a standard crimp tool rated for 6AWG terminals. The connectors support both crimping and soldering depending on your preference and application requirements.

What's the difference between these and Anderson plugs?

Amphenol connectors offer higher voltage ratings (600V vs 50V), UL certification, and colour-coded keyed housings. Anderson plugs are faster to assemble but lack the voltage headroom for solar applications.

Compatible With / Goes Well With

• Dual battery isolator systems (50A+ rated)
• Portable solar panel arrays and charge controllers
• High-output alternators and battery charging systems
• Marine battery banks and inverter installations
• Commercial and industrial portable equipment
• Workshop power distribution systems
• Caravan and motorhome 12V/24V electrical systems
• 6AWG / 6B&S tinned marine cable
• Heavy-duty crimp terminals and heat shrink

Compatibility Note: Verify your cable gauge and current requirements before purchasing. These connectors are designed for permanent or semi-permanent installations rather than frequent daily connection/disconnection.
