Product Information
Full details
The Van Line ET605 is an industrial-grade, genderless high current power connector designed for professionals in the automotive, agricultural, and engineering sectors who require reliable, heavy-duty power distribution. It excels at facilitating safe, rapid connection and disconnection of cables up to 70mm² with a robust 350A capacity, though it is specifically designed for high-amperage applications and may be overkill for smaller, low-voltage electronic projects.

FAQs
Can I use this connector with smaller gauge wire?
This connector is specifically designed for 70mm² cable. Using significantly smaller wire will result in a poor crimp and potential fire hazard.
Is this connector waterproof?
The housing is weather-resistant but not hermetically sealed; it should be kept in a dry area or protected with a cover in wet environments.
How do I disconnect the units safely?
Simply pull the two housings apart firmly; the genderless design is meant for manual force disconnection.
Can I use these for AC and DC power?
These are primarily designed for high-current DC applications in automotive and industrial settings.
Are the housings color-coded?
This specific model comes in grey; note that different colors in this series may have mechanical keys preventing them from mating with each other.
Troubleshooting
Connector feels loose when mated
Ensure the terminals are fully clicked into their housing positions and check for debris inside the mating face.
Terminal overheating during use
Verify that the crimp connection is tight and that the cable gauge is not smaller than 70mm².
Difficulty inserting cable into terminal
Ensure the wire strands are neatly bundled and not frayed, and confirm you are using a tool capable of handling 70mm² gauge.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Genderless design prevents connection mistakes
- High 350A current handling for demanding power needs
- Suitable for large 70mm² cable diameters
- Robust construction for harsh environments
Cons
- Requires professional-grade crimping tools for 70mm² terminals
- Not intended for low-amperage, delicate electronics
- Bulkier than standard residential connectors
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, strip the insulation from your 70mm² cable, insert it into the provided terminal, and use a heavy-duty hydraulic crimper to secure the connection. Slide the terminal into the grey housing until it clicks firmly into place. Since the connector is genderless, ensure your positive and negative lines are clearly marked on your cable runs to prevent polarity reversals. For maintenance, periodically inspect the housing for cracks and the terminals for signs of oxidation or heat discoloration. If the connection becomes loose over time, check that the internal terminal spring tension is still holding the pins in firm contact. Avoid exposing the internal contacts to moisture to prevent corrosion.
