Trac Outdoors High-Current Plug, 10 Gauge - For High-Current 12V or 24V Power (69443)

I have tried a lot of connectors recently, from Anderson Powerpole to Marinco 3 blade twist plugs/outlets to Noco Genius 2 pin connectors, and of course the popular 2 pin SAE flat connector (of which it seems no two vendors produce identical and fully compatible versions). What I was looking for was a durable connector to use between solar panels and "solar generators" (fancy term for portable battery packs). I wanted something that protected the hot lead from incidental contact, was weatherproof, has appropriate strain relief, and doesn't require proprietary crimping tools.Everything about the Trac connector/plug fit the bill for me. They come with weatherproof covers. The connection to your cable is via a crimped butt connector that comes with heat shrink. The wire leads from the plug to the butt connector are tinned copper wire with 105C insulator. The crimps are properly executed, although I'd prefer if they used a non-dimple type crimp as it results in a pin hole in the heat shrink.I've got a box full of plugs/sockets I've tried to use for this project, all rejected for one reason or another (not weather proof, exposed wire, poorly designed, inconsistent sizing, poorly executed, lack of strain relief). Close to $200 in wasted money and time. I also have a box full of these Trac connectors - until someone comes up with something better, the box full of Trac connectors is the one I'm keeping. The other one is going into the garbage where it belongs.

I use these for two kayak lithium ion batteries. The days of weakening clamps, broken connections and corrosion are long gone.I highly recommend JB weld to hold the cap connector wires on or you will lose them. With this small mod, these connectors are now flawless.

Good quality

Excellent product, its our fourth one used on our boat for battery hook up.

Perfect, just as described!
