Hi,
The ITT Cannon XLR range became known as Cannon-connector and
XLR-connector, with the later as the long term name. Often the 3-pole
XLR connector is being used, but many other exists, including different
sizes of pins and shells.
One should ba a bit careful to use the vendor name to identify a
connector type.
BTW, I agree with Rick's comment on power-pole and use on batteries.
This is the reason I use power-poles on my ham-equipment. It also allows
for combining adapters in interestinng ways.
Cheers,
Magnus

I believe the "AMP" connectors you are referring to are what I would call a
"Cannon" connector. A good choice for that application IMHO.

I use barrel connectors when I _want_ the cord to come out when the unit falls
off the shelf rather than dangle by the power cable.
Locking Molex, or, far better, locking AMP connections when I want the unit to
hang by the cord when necessary.
We've gone to 9 pin circular locking AMP connectors for rotors on our 2x /year
ham radio contest set up on the mountain (take a look for W2SZ / MGEF).
Waterproof (not water tight), sturdy, impossible to misalign. And 40' of cable
can hang from one for a few minutes if need be.

Heh, I was thinking just that when I typed it. They're almost inverted, the
pegs are on the plug and the slots are on the socket, the ones I've seen
aren't spiral slots, you have to fully engage the plug before you twist.
I like PowerPoles, I like barrel connections, as with so many things it's
all about the application, choose the one that works for you.

Locking barrel connectors...
Aren't those called BNCs? ;)
In one of my other lives, I see Power Poles used in a very life critical
application. They are used to connect pads to Automatic External
Defibrillators. In that application, the two poles (15A, red & white) are
glued together rather than using the roll pin.

It is possible to get hold of locking barrel connectors, they insert as
normal and a quarter twist fastens them in place. The plugs and sockets
are
