The Anderson Power Industrial Battery Connector (IBC) is a DIN VDE 0623-589 and EN 1175:2020 -compliant high-power battery connector series. Featuring multiple patent-pending features, the IBC is engineered for the demands of modern industrial electrification. The series covers the full range of power needs across the category:

• IBC 320. 165-460A, 3 cartridges that support up to 10 auxiliary signals, 4 auxiliary signals and 2 auxiliary signals with air tubes respectively, 50-120 mm² wire size.
• IBC 160. 120-270A, up to 6 auxiliary signals (plus 2 signals with air tube configuration), 25-50 mm² wire size
• IBC 80: 80-160A, 4 auxiliary signals, 10-35 mm² wire size.

All models are rated for a minimum of 5,000 mating cycles and available with accessories that support contact temp sensing, IP68 sealing and connection security.

The IBC introduced multiple industry firsts. The most striking of those firsts is the IBC's IP68 upgrade Accessory Kit. The IBC is the first DIN connector to offer an IP68-rated add-on accessory, providing full protection against moisture, dust, and debris while mated. Equally significant is the IBC's Contact Temperature Sensing Enablement, another category first. This patent-pending add-on integrates a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) sensor directly at the contacts to enable the detection and prevention of overheating in real time.

The IBC 320 supports up to 10 auxiliary signal configurations, more than the four to eight auxiliary signals most alternatives max out at. Those additional signal channels enable richer battery management system integration, faster smart charging, more monitoring capabilities and extended battery and connector service life.
