Different colour Anderson plugs will only fit the same colour plug. So Yellow will only fit yellow etc.
Made different so you can colour code your setup
I have grey for normal stuff and will be using yellow for solar input.

Watch out there are a lot of non genuine on the market.

I buy mine in batches of 10 on eBay, buy always make sure they are the genuine ones.
Also watch out that you are buying for the correct cable size they will often have  lugs for 6 B&S OR 8B&S.

Google Anderson Power to see why you don't buy the cheap ones.

Narva also have this type of plug, available from most auto part shops.
You pay a bit extra for the wrapping though.
