Yes. The shell of the 15 and 30 amp connectors are the same. What is
different is the metal insert, the blades/contact surfaces are the same,
but the barrels are different sizes to accommodate the different gauge
wire. Considerable detail is available on the Anderson Power Product
site at: http://www.andersonpower.com/products/pp/pp.html

Anderson make a chassis-mount shell that can contain the connector
shells, to accommodate chassis mounting. A finished product is available
from West Mountain Radio: http://www.westmountainradio.com/ Check the
Anderson site (above) for parts and pieces to "roll your own".
