The Euro DIN style connectors are mainly used in Europe, however, they are becoming more and more common in America.  The main differences between the SB style connectors (which are the other standard) is that DIN style connectors are Male/Female instead of universally interconnectable.  They are also multi-volt with the use of a pin to key the proper voltage and disallow incorrect connections.

A Series

The Anderson Power Products® ‘A’ Series battery connector uses the DIN Style/Euro 0623-589 form factor which has been modified to meet requirements for North American markets. The “A” series connectors offer contacts and crimp tooling selections developed for both American Wire Gauge (AWG) as well as metric wires.  This series offers auxiliary wire contacts that accept a broad range of wires and used for communication/ control applications.  Another key difference is the use of a higher temperature, higher impact resistant plastic for applications that require these attributes. This change in plastic does not meet EN1175-1 which requires a material that offers higher resistance to Hydrofluorocarbons. The connector design incorporates an advanced, cost effective contact carrier for ease of assembly and fewer components.  All materials are selected to ensure years of reliable service under adverse battery environments.
