This professional-grade connection handles high-power applications including solar arrays up to 700+ watts, dual battery charging systems, DC-DC charger connections, and inverter circuits without contact overheating or voltage drop, maintaining reliable performance through thousands of connection cycles in harsh Australian touring conditions.
Simplified Surface Mounting Installation Designed specifically for surface mounting directly onto flat panels, bulkheads, walls, or floors without requiring precision cutouts, recessed cavities, or complex panel modifications. The complete assembly with integrated mounting plate simply bolts to any flat surface using standard fasteners, dramatically reducing installation time and eliminating the risk of incorrectly sized or positioned cutouts that can ruin expensive panels or compromise structural integrity and waterproofing.
Professional Black UV-Stabilized Housing Constructed from high-quality UV-stabilized PVC material that resists degradation, cracking, and color fading under continuous exposure to intense Australian sun. The professional black finish matches most vehicle and caravan interiors, while the robust construction maintains structural integrity through temperature extremes from -20°C to +70°C, sustained vibration on corrugated roads, and years of harsh touring conditions including coastal salt spray and outback dust storms.
Complete PVC Surface Mounting Plate Included Comes with a complete PVC surface mounting plate providing secure, stable mounting on flat surfaces without additional hardware purchases. The integrated mounting plate distributes installation loads across a larger surface area preventing stress concentration that could crack thin panels, while providing proper spacing for cable entry and connection access behind the panel assembly for straightforward wiring without interference.
Improved Anti-Short Circuit Terminal Design Features Baintech's enhanced terminal design with improved spacing, insulation barriers, and connection geometry specifically engineered to prevent accidental short circuits during installation and operation. This safety-focused design eliminates dangerous failure modes where loose terminal screws, wayward wire strands, or improper cable routing creates shorts that can damage batteries, destroy sensitive electronics, or start electrical fires in confined vehicle spaces.
Quality Tinned Copper Terminal Inserts Incorporates tinned copper wire terminal inserts accepting heavy-gauge automotive cable (typically 8-10mm² for 50A applications) required for high-current Anderson plug circuits. The tinned copper construction resists corrosion far superior to bare copper terminals, maintains secure screw-clamp connection pressure without cold flow, and provides reliable long-term electrical connections that won't develop high-resistance joints requiring periodic maintenance tightening.
Heavy-Duty Construction for Demanding Use Built with reinforced end plate design, strong mounting platform, and durable contact materials designed specifically for continuous heavy-duty use in demanding Australian touring environments. The robust construction withstands thousands of Anderson plug connection and disconnection cycles without contact degradation, housing cracks, or mechanical failures, ensuring reliable performance through decades of outback travel, beach adventures, and off-road expeditions.
Retrofit-Friendly Design for Existing Installations Ideal for retrofitting Anderson plug capability to existing caravans, camper trailers, boats, or 4WDs where cutting panels for flush mounting would compromise waterproofing, structural strength, or factory warranties. The surface-mount approach preserves original panels while adding essential electrical functionality, making it perfect for upgrading older vehicles or adding auxiliary power points without permanent panel modifications that can't be reversed.
Versatile Application for Multiple Uses Suitable for diverse applications including dedicated solar panel input connections, auxiliary battery charging points, DC-DC charger outputs, inverter power connections, portable equipment power access, or any scenario requiring robust 50 amp Anderson plug connectivity. The clean single-function design provides focused capability without unnecessary complexity, making it ideal for straightforward electrical installations requiring only Anderson plug access.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the main advantage of surface mounting versus flush mounting?
Surface mounting requires no panel cutting or modification — you simply bolt the complete assembly to any flat surface, making installation faster, easier, and completely reversible. This is ideal for retrofitting Anderson plug access to existing vehicles without compromising panels, for rental vehicles or caravans where permanent modifications aren't desired, or for installations where cutting precise openings is difficult or risky. Flush mounting provides a more integrated appearance but requires precise cutting and irreversible panel modification.
Can I use this for my 350W solar blanket connection?
Yes, a 350 watt solar blanket produces approximately 16-18 amps maximum current, which is well within the 50 amp continuous rating of this Anderson plug panel. This makes it an ideal permanent mounting solution for solar input connections on caravans, camper trailers, or 4WD auxiliary battery systems, providing a secure, weather-resistant connection point that eliminates cable clutter and temporary connections prone to corrosion and failure.
How thick can the mounting surface be for proper installation?
The surface mount design accommodates typical vehicle and caravan panel thicknesses from 3mm to 12mm, with cables entering from behind the mounting surface through appropriate cable entry points. For thicker panels or unusual mounting scenarios, verify that sufficient space exists behind the mounting surface for cable routing, terminal connections, and proper bend radius on heavy-gauge Anderson plug wiring to prevent cable strain and connection stress.
Can I mount this on the exterior of my vehicle or does it need interior mounting?
While the UV-stabilized housing withstands outdoor conditions, this panel is designed primarily for interior or protected mounting locations such as under bullbars, in storage compartments, behind protective panels, or in covered areas. The Anderson plug is weather-resistant when connected but should be protected from direct heavy rain, submersion, or pressure washing when unmated. For fully exposed exterior mounting, consider additional weather protection or mounting in locations sheltered from direct water exposure.
What wire size do I need for 50 amp applications?
For 50 amp continuous applications, use minimum 10mm² (7 B&S) automotive cable for runs under 3 meters, or 13.5mm² (6 B&S) for longer cable runs to minimize voltage drop. The panel's terminal blocks accept wire sizes from approximately 6mm² to 10mm². Always ensure your Anderson plug circuit has appropriate fusing (typically 50-60 amp) based on your wire gauge and intended application to prevent overheating and electrical fires.
