West Mountain is a good source for all things PowerPole, but there are a bunch of other vendors as well.  And do youself a favor -- spend $30 on the three size 15/30/45 amp crimping tool.


+++10 -- the right crimping tool is a godsend. There's also a little tool that helps remove the contact.

https://powerwerx.com/ is another source that's done well for me.. Lots of inexpensive distribution stuff without fancyness (basically big clusters of connectors).

They also have watt/current/voltage meters that plug-in inline that handle a wide range of voltages (5-60V). however "Only current from source to load can be measured. Drawing current in reverse will cause damage to the meter."

They also sell the west mountain gear.






It saves much aggravation.  But if you're using thin wire, soldering after crimping is a good precaution.

I use lots and lots of Anderson PowerPoles and (mostly) West
Mountain Radio distribution units.  I have different color codes for
different voltages -- red/black for 12v, orange/black for 24v,
green/black for 5v, etc.  Primary 12 and 24 volt sources are big AGM
batteries across float chargers.

use something neat and not real expensive for distributing 5v and
12v.
I am hoping for a long COTS pcb with fusing and maybe holes for
plugs.


Any insights?
