I've had occasional issues like yours. Usually I just replace them. Sometimes, for reasons not readily apparent, they just do not lock together well. Every piece of equipment I have gets power through PowerPoles. I have 2 12-position distribution panels. Seems like the PowerPoles could be improved with some type of locking mechanism when they are panel mounted.

Hi list,

I've noticed that almost every time I move my K3, it powers down.  I
have little doubt it's the power pole connectors.  I soldered them,
and I'm pretty good with a soldering iron.  It seems to be plugged in
and fully seated.  But why is it so fragile?  I used the powerpole
connectors and contacts that came with my K3 kit.

Has anyone else notice this phenomenon?  Any advice?

Thanks and 73,

Chris
