Battery Quick Connect Disconnect Electrical Plug Kit - 8-10 Gauge Winch Trailer

Quick connector set - Provides simple and convenient method for Connecting & disconnecting power to a winch or other electrical device for any purpose requiring a high-current, quick-disconnect connector
  • Rugged - Crafted from tough polycarbonate and each end features a fitted rubber boot to protect against dust, moisture, corrosion and the elements
  • Simple to use - Connector ends are identical, so either end is suitable for connection to the power or load side; however, they are mated (they connect in only one polarity or direction), to prevent anyone from connecting them cross-polarity
  • Easy set-up - Simply insert wires into terminal pins, then crimp or solder. Pins are then inserted into the connector housing, where they lock in place (pins can be removed from housing if necessary)
  • Usage - Designed for low-voltage (12-36 volts DC), direct-current use and accepts wires from 4-8 gauge
  • High-current - All components are suitable for very high-current use, such as for winches rated 8,000 pounds or greater (true rated capacity is 175 amps)
  • Universal - This set may be used to connect any brand of winch
  • Dimensions - Each connector measures 3-1/8" long x 2-1/8" wide x 1" thick (connected set measures 5-1/4" x 2-1/8" x 1")
  • What's included
  • Complete set - Kit includes one pair of connectors (2 connector ends, 4 terminal pins and 2 rubber boot caps)

What is Wire Gauge?
The thickness of a cable or wire is defined by its gauge size.  The general rule of thumb is that the smaller the gauge number, the thicker the cable.  The standardized method of measuring the thickness of a cable was established in 1857 in the United States.  Commonly known as the American Wire Gauge (AWG), this form of measuring cable thickness is used for electrically conducting wire.  The important part to consider in determining a cables current-carrying capacity is the cross sectional area of the cable. he diameter of the cable does not include the outer jacket of the wire, but only the copper wire on the inside.  A wire that is “True-to-Gauge” will meet and/or exceed the diameter of the copper for its AWG rating.

Correct Gauge Terminology
The term “gauge” is used for wire up to 1 AWG.
The term “aught” is used for wire 1/0 AWG and larger. This number of “0” in the size is the number of “Aught”

For example:
8 AWG = Eight Gauge
2 AWG = Two Gauge
1 AWG = One Gauge
1/0 AWG = One Aught
2/0 AWG = Two Aught
