I have the factory Anderson Power Products 1309G2 crimper and legit APP parts. I just built a two pole loop connector & hung 4# from the loop with no separation. It did separate with a 5# weight.
Rebuilt the rig to feed a 2600HZ tone to the left channel of the sound card though a pair of 15 amp connectors, the same source was fed directly to the right. I recorded 60 seconds of audio while holding a jitterbug sander to the connector. The audio looks exactly in both channels when played back with audacity. Anyone have a decent storage scope to repeat the test with? I will ship the power pole connector pigtails to your location if you want to repeat & publish the results.
