And therein lies the problem:
First, they may be cute but they ain't cheap
Then, you have to buy a special crimper
The assembly is tricky (up, down, right, left - did I hear it snap in place or
snap in two?)
You could try to use a roll pin - oh no, those don't work as designed so you
use a broken-off QTip
Even with the QTip/roll pin/toothpick, you have to superglue the halves
together because they won't hold as designed
Then, you have to put a zip tie or tape around them so they don't pull out
Plus, they are flimsy plastic so they are prone to breaking
The Powerpole is a Mickey Mouse solution in search of a problem. What was
wrong with the good old Molex?
To keep this on an Elecraft related topic, I just hope these things don't show
up on any more wonderful Elecraft equipment.
