But where can you plug into one of these solar connectors? This post will shed some light on what this cable is, why your setup needs it, and where you can get your hands on the perfect power link to connect your Goal Zero solar panels and Yeti power station. With the right connection, you’ll be fully charged and ready for adventure!
The Goal Zero 8mm female to Anderson connector is a cable that allows you to connect a Goal Zero solar panel with an 8mm output to a Goal Zero Yeti power station with an Anderson Power Pole input.
What is the Goal Zero 8mm female to Anderson connector?
The Goal Zero 8mm female to Anderson connector is a cable that has two different types of connectors on each end:
- An 8mm female connector that plugs into the output port of a Goal Zero solar panel
- An Anderson Power Pole connector that plugs into the input port of a Goal Zero Yeti power station
The cable is about 9 feet long and has a 16AWG gauge.
The purpose of this cable is to allow you to connect a Goal Zero solar panel with an 8mm output to a Goal Zero Yeti power station with an Anderson Power Pole input.
Why do you need the Goal Zero 8mm female to Anderson connector?
You need the Goal Zero 8mm female to Anderson connector if you want to charge your Goal Zero Yeti power station with solar power using a compatible solar panel.
Goal Zero Yeti power stations are versatile and reliable portable power sources that can provide clean and quiet energy for your devices and appliances. You can charge your Yeti from three different sources: AC power, car port, or solar panel.
Goal Zero solar panels are designed to be compatible and convenient with Goal Zero Yeti power stations. They have high-efficiency monocrystalline cells, durable frames, and easy-to-use connectors.
However, not all Goal Zero Yeti models have the same type of input ports, and not all Goal Zero solar panels have the same type of output ports. Depending on the model and size of your Yeti and your solar panel, you may need an adapter or a cable to connect them.
For example, some smaller Yeti models (such as the Yeti 200X) have an 8mm input port, while some larger Yeti models (such as the Yeti 1000X) have an Anderson Power Pole input port. Similarly, some smaller solar panels (such as the Nomad 50) have an 8mm output port, while some larger solar panels (such as the Boulder 200) have an Anderson Power Pole output port.
To connect an 8mm output port to an 8mm input port, or an Anderson Power Pole output port to an Anderson Power Pole input port, you don’t need any adapter or cable. You can just plug them directly.
However, to connect an 8mm output port to an Anderson Power Pole input port, or vice versa, you need an adapter or a cable. That’s where the Goal Zero 8mm female to Anderson connector comes in handy.
