This thing is a heatbed connector box for the Velleman Vertex K8400 that uses Anderson PowerPole connectors as well as Molex KK to connect the heatbed to the printer.
I made it compitable with Bo_Ris Wire covers, the one for mk3 heatbed (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2255250), but it also works fine standalone as shown in pictures.
You will need two pairs of Anderson PowerPole connectors, I used 30amp version, but 15 amp will work to, they use the same housing. These connectors work very well for this purpose as they are rated for high amps in a small housing and can be mounted in a box or be as is on a cable an are the same in both ends.
You can find them cheap on ebay, and you do not need the crimp plier, soldering works fine.
You will need a Molex KK connector for the thermistor cable, 2 pin 2.54 is what to look for, also chep on ebay, buy more of these as the fit on everything on these printers!
You will need 4 M3 10-12mm caphead screws for the housing itself to the printer
You will need 4 M3 12-14mm countersunk screws for the cover to the housing
Use glue to fasten the molex housing part to the housing as shown in the picture and solder on wires that will go to the motherboard.
