Troubleshooting
Plug won't connect or disconnects easily
Ensure terminals are fully seated in the housing and that the two plug halves are properly aligned and fully engaged. Check for any obstructions.
Overheating at the connection point
Verify that the correct size cable is being used (up to 16 mm²). Ensure terminals are securely crimped with the appropriate tool. Check for loose connections or damaged wires.

Confirm you are using a compatible heavy-duty crimping tool designed for Anderson Type terminals. Ensure the cable is stripped to the correct length for the terminal.
