I didn't much like the Euro-style clamping terminals either. I built a short pigtail to 30A APP, and just leave the terminals alone. They're not robust enough for constant plugging in/out.
The Samlex here is powered 100% of the time. Its output goes to a solar charge controller used to maintain SOC on an Optima 75 AH battery. The charge controller has two inputs, and the other one is connected to 100W of solar PV on the roof. All the power terminations in this setup are APP. The SS30DV has two APP terminations on the front of the unit, and a 1/4" / banana lab-style termination on the rear. You might like this arrangement better than the Samlex. Elecraft sells the SS30DV too. 73, matt W6NIA On Fri, 2 Oct 2015 12:33:26 -0300, you wrote: >Hello Matt > >Thanks for the Info. > >I have two SEC-1235M and I hate the terminal screws, I think they are >aluminum and I broke them if removing power cable too much times > >I prefer a PS with black and red connectors so I can connect any cable and >don´t worry about connectors. > >Thanks! >Jorge >CX6VM/CW5W > >-----Mensaje original----- >De: Matt Zilmer [mailto:mzil...@roadrunner.com] >Enviado el: viernes, 02 de octubre de 2015 12:13 p.m. >Para: Jorge Diez - CX6VM >CC: elecraft@mailman.qth.net >Asunto: Re: [Elecraft] SS30DV feedback > >Hi Jorge, > >I have both power supplies here - SS30DV and the Samlex SEC1235M. > >Except for the 1235 having voltage and current meters (the SS30 does not), >there is little difference in performance.
