Anderson PowerPole Connectors

This is the best 12 volt DC connector we have seen in Amateur Radio, and the nearest thing to a universal standard. It is good for up to 45 amps.

Installation - Crimp or Solder

• Use the West Mountain Radio crimp tool (soldering works but is inferior to a proper crimp)
• DO NOT USE the metal roll pin. Discard it. Use CA glue if needed to bond the body halves together (optional)
• Polarize the connector the Standard Way (see Reference Standards below)
