[Elecraft] Anderson Power Pole connector usage

Tue Apr 16 21:53:00 2002

Our club and EC group has been using the power pole connectors for almost 10
years.  The roll pins are intended to be used when chassis mounting several
pairs of powerpoles in a black plastic powerpole chassis socket. The pin
holds the group of powerpoles in the socket.  The sockets come in sizes to
hold 2, 4, and 6 pairs as I recall.  We just use friction to hold the
connectors together. Often times, once they are pushed together they are
very difficult to get apart.  WA7U
