I had never heard of Anderson connectors. Could do with something similar myself so did some more searching.
This looks like what we need?

They will only accept 6mm2 cable even if 50 amp was enough

No it isnt, that listing is for the metal bracket only...and very expensive too.

I thought it was about right for the job. I wasn't commenting on the price. For those of us who don't have the time, money or inclination to bend metal to that standard I thought the price was perfectly reasonable to be honest.

I will be getting a couple of these along with some Grey connectors for my set up. It will make my life so much easier. Thanks for this thread I learned something very useful

they will take up to 70 mm2 the big grey ones, just trim the ends of the leads. i used 110mm2 cos that was spare in the workshop and was free, also dont get much loss on that size.
you try starting an old diesel cummings on a ice cold morning, with a fire under the fuel tank to help de-wax the diesel

Squared or CSA?

The 175 amp will take 25mm squared

I see you edited but 110mm2 (is there such a size) will not fit a 175 amp Anderson and doubtful 70mm2 will

This is 25mm2 on 175 amp plugs and you are saying more than 4 times bigger?

You can go up to 60mm but must order the correct size pins

Perhaps you are using the 350amp connectors?
