Seven pin solar adapter

Dasieg · October 3

I am looking at expanding the solar capacity on my 2023 tab 400. The most elegant (and easy) seems to be the seven plug adapter. But unfortunately, every site I went to on the web showed them as out of stock. Any one know where I can get one? I do know that there is a DIY option for this as well but I’d rather avoid that if possible. Thanks!

Assuming you do not have the SAE port on your trailer? Which solar connector do you want to use between the solar controller and the 7-pin? SAE? Anderson, etc?

Lots of owners have made their own, it isn't "too" hard to do. There are a couple of threads that explain this sort of thing if you haven't seen them.

Anyone carry a spare battery?

I don’t have the pre wired SAE. I know there was a company making the adapters pre wired with an Anderson connector and was hoping to save time with one of those. But if they are off the market or otherwise unavailable, I will just go DIY.

The whole deal with connectors is trying to find a standard that will stay and not become a legacy item.

I stick with mil spec connectors because they are obligated to maintain the standard. You can find them at lower grades than mil spec that still mate correctly but you should really do your homework and start with required wire size to pin size then how you want to mount it, potted pig tail, bulkhead..etc.

The Anderson connector:

Listed above available through Amazon is still out there and a common domestic high amperage two pin DC connector. They use these on jumper cable sockets on tow trucks, kind of an easy day to set this up.
