“A” Series Connector
A32 Male DIN Style
Features
• Impact resistant plastic housing
PA6 (Nylon) housings provide superior impact
resistance to stand up to rough usage
• Up to four auxiliary contacts
Can be used for battery monitoring and charger
communications. Last mate - fi rst break, auxiliary
contact sizes available from 10AWG to 18AWG.
• Low mating forces
Connectors can be mated and unmated without
the necessity of added hardware
• Hexagonal voltage key for
24V, 36V, 48V, 72V, 80V, or 96V
Key prevents mating of different operating voltages
Note: Will not mate with “Euro Battery Connector” Series Housings
The Anderson™ DIN style “A” Series uses
the form factor which has been specially
configured for North American fast battery
charging systems.
Unlike other DIN 43589-1 connectors, our
“A” Series offers contact and crimp tooling
selections developed for both American Wire
Gauge and Metric cable. We also offer a
broader range of auxiliary wire contacts for
communication control applications.
The connector design incorporates an
advanced, cost effective contact carrier for
ease of assembly and fewer components.
All materials are selected to ensure years
of reliable service under adverse battery
environments.

* Current derating curves must be observed as current capacity will vary dependent on wire cross section and ambient temperature. Maximum current carrying capacity is measured at 40°C / 104°F using
the maximum wire cross section permissible, crimped to contacts using APP recommended tooling.
