Hi Martin, I normally would crimp and solder the wire into the small power pole connectors at fixed station (not moving and vibrating) locations.
The intermittent was the contact(s). The contact pressure wasn't consistent and the finger "tong" would bend with simple force. After the second extra long service call drive to find the intermittent power connection (wiggle to restore power), I jerked them all out and never looked back. Don't have the problems with the larger power pole connectors... just the smaller ones that tend to be popular with the Amateur Radio (Ham) crowd. cheers skipp > "rahwayflynn" <mafl...@...> wrote: > Re your problem with the Power Pole Connectors: Was the > contact itself intermittent or the wire / contact crimp? > > I have yet to have a prblem with them in DC service, however > for signal and data, I generally use Amp CPC series. > > Martin > > "skipp025" <skipp025@> wrote: > > > > I stopped using small Anderson Power Pole connectors > > because of all the grief they caused me on the commercial > > radio side of my life.
