Kevin, Using hot glue is not dumb at all. In fact it sounds like a good idea to stabilize the leads where they exit the power pole connector shells and keeps the pair of connectors from sliding apart.
73 Dave KD1NA This may be a dumb thing to do, but after crimping (using the more expensive ratchet type crimpier) and inserting the connectors into their housing, I run some hot melt glue around the conductors where they enter the housing. This IMHO provides support to the conductors where flexing may tend to cause failure after a time. I would be pleased of anyone could provide reasons why this is a stupid idea to put their argument on the reflector. We learn by mistakes and by discussion! _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
