12v heavy weatherproof plug

[Nick.]

We’re getting a new rtv, but I’m wanting to be able to put a weatherproof socket on to run slug pelleter, sprayer and pheasant spinner. (Not all at once.)
At the moment we’re using a mix of all sorts of plugs. I just want to go to one reliable type across everything.
I was thinking Anderson plugs but are they just for HD cables ?

What is the purpose of spinning pheasants? Is it even legal?

Spin them then let them go...... bit like the broom game after a few drinks

It’s a feeder. Bit like a cross between a sheep slacker and slug pelleter.

Anderson socket would be the way to go imo, you can get small versions

You learn something every day. I actually thought it was some sort of predictive text gaffe lol.

Yes Anderson and go just a shade bigger than you'll ever need, last a lifetime.

E-Bay have them, go for a 30 or 50 AMP or even a tad bigger just for the physical size and strength

Whilst I rate the Anderson plug Bulgin also do very good weatherproof connectors.

They do look good.
Having never used Anderson connectors do they have a cable clamp on them ?
I can just imagine wires continuously pulling out if not.

Anderson all the way. Solder and crimp the wire in.

Bulgin buccaneer are good https://www.bulgin.com/us/products/range/circular-power-connectors.html

If it’s a direct feed from battery via a fuse you could also use it for charging the battery.

Once the wires are crimped/soldered into the connections they push into the main connector and are held in place with a metal spring.

Personally I wouldn’t use Anderson plugs. I’ve found to get some sort of corrosion on them and the power transfer greatly reduces. I’ve had to pull the pins and clean in a wire wheel before now.


I’d use Deutsche plugs if it was me.
