What are adaptors?

Adaptors connect plugs and sockets that don’t match. They make it easy to link different systems. For example, trailer plug adaptors are used in towing setups, while power adaptors help connect devices to your car's power supply.

How do I choose the right adaptor for my vehicle or equipment?

Check the voltage and current requirements first. Then, ensure the plug and socket types fit your system. The right adaptor gives you a secure and reliable connection.

What makes Anderson-style connectors reliable for automotive and off-road applications?

Anderson-style connectors are tough and built to last. They handle high currents, resist dust and moisture, and stay secure even in rough conditions. This makes them perfect for demanding environments like the Outback.

What is a busbar, and why is it used in electrical systems?

A busbar is a metal strip that distributes power efficiently. It connects multiple circuits, making it ideal for vehicles and boat setups. Busbars handle high currents and keep systems organised.

How do I use crimp terminals to make secure connections?

Use the right crimp terminal and match the terminal size to the wire gauge. This ensures a tight, reliable connection that won’t loosen over time.

What are the different types of crimp terminals?

Crimp terminals come in spade, ring, bullet, and blade types. Spade and ring terminals are great for screw connections, while bullet and blade terminals are ideal for quick disconnects.

Junction Boxes

A junction box protects and organises electrical connections, keeping them safe from damage. It prevents exposure to dust, moisture, and other elements, making it essential for reliable setups.

To choose the right junction box, consider the size needed to fit your connections. Look for durable materials like plastic or metal and ensure it offers weather resistance for outdoor use.

Trailer Plugs & Accessories

We offer trailer plugs in 5-pin, 6-pin, 7-pin, and 12-pin designs to suit different towing systems. The 5-pin and 6-pin plugs are ideal for smaller setups, while 7-pin plugs handle basic lighting and brake functions. For more advanced features like reverse lights or powering caravan appliances, 12-pin plugs are the best choice.

To improve your trailer wiring, use accessories like plug covers to block dirt, adaptors for compatibility, and heat shrink tubing for extra protection. These help keep your connections secure and long-lasting.

Deutsch-Style Connectors

Deutsch-style connectors are designed for reliable connections in many applications. The DT series is ideal for general automotive and industrial use, handling medium wires with ease. The DTM series is better for smaller wires, making it great for tight spaces or low-power setups. The DRC series is built for heavy-duty applications, like trucks or machinery, where strong connections are required.
