Both types of connectors are commonly used in the fields of power and electronic devices, and both have a compression wire interface that can quickly and securely connect wires and connectors. Although they both have excellent performance, there are also some differences between them. The advantages of Anderson connectors over the Amphenol XT series connectors are as follows:

Higher current capacity: Anderson connectors can withstand higher current capacities, with some models capable of carrying up to 350 amps, while the current capacity of the Amphenol XT series connectors is around 100 amps.

More applications: Anderson connectors are widely used in various power and electronic devices, including solar panels, electric vehicles, and electric vehicle charging stations. Amphenol XT series connectors are mainly used in aerospace, defense, and marine industries.

Higher waterproof rating: Some models of Anderson connectors have an IP68 waterproof rating, making them suitable for use in harsh weather and environmental conditions. The waterproof rating of Amphenol XT series connectors is around IP67.

More convenient operation: The contact area between the Anderson connector‘s pin and socket is larger, making it easier to insert and remove. The connector‘s design also prevents reverse insertion and misalignment.

In summary, Anderson connectors have advantages over Amphenol XT series connectors in terms of higher current capacity, wider range of applications, higher waterproof rating, and more convenient operation.
