Does the job and easier than making your own. Probably best avoided for heavy current loads. As with all connectors, do not disconnect whilst on load. I would buy again. Liked: Fixing tabs Disliked 1: Contacts were strips of metal, not Anderson shaped contacts. Printed circuit interior rather than real wires. Disliked 2: Relatively thin metal construction.

Ich habe es in meinem Boot und Shack verbaut insgesamt 4 von den Verteilern. Alles bestens gute Verarbeitung und auch bei maximaler Belastung keine Probleme.

Review: HCDC 1-in-8 Out 40A Anderson Powerpole Distribution Strip Quick Summary This is a heavy-duty, steel-encased DC distribution block that splits one 40A input into eight fused Anderson Powerpole outputs. It is a complete kit that includes all necessary connectors, mixed 30A/45A contacts, and rubber boots. With its varied fuse ratings (3A to 30A) and flexible mounting options—including both fixed holes and key-hole slots—it offers a solid, organized solution for managing multiple DC devices from a single power source. Construction and Mounting This distribution block is housed in a sturdy steel chassis. For installation, the panel includes four standard corner mounting holes for screws. Additionally, my unit featured key-hole slots between the corner holes, allowing for a semi-permanent mounting option where the device can be slid onto two pre-set screws and removed as needed. Power Configuration and Fusing The module is designed with one input and eight outputs, all utilizing Anderson Powerpole-style connectors. A 40A main fuse protects the input, and an integrated power light indicates when the strip is receiving voltage from the source. The unit uses standard automotive blade-type fuses, making replacements easy to find. Output Layout The outputs are fused at varying values to accommodate different equipment needs. The first two outputs are fused at 30A, followed by two 20A ports, and two 10A ports. The final two ports are fused at 5A and 3A respectively. According to the included schematic, there is a capacitor bridged between the positive and negative leads on each connector, likely intended for signal filtering or noise reduction. Included Hardware and Accessories The package comes with a complete set of components to terminate your own wires. It includes plastic housings and contacts for each of the nine ports. Based on visual inspection, the contacts provided appear to be a mix, with half being 30A and the other half being 45A crimp-on style. The kit also includes nine rubber boots to cover the connectors once they are assembled. The fuses are standard automobile blade fuses that you can purchase just about anywhere. You may find it useful to buy several packs of the sizes you use the most, or a variety pack or two so you have the size you need for any given purpose.

It's not genuine powerpole connectors, but connection fits though a bit too tight to insert in.
