[Elecraft] Power Pole connectors

[Don Wilhelm]

Phil,

Anderson Power pole connectors are 'genderless' - meaning that if you
assemble them all the same, they will fit together with no polarity
problems.

To assemble the red and black housings, I look for the little 'A' stamped on
the end (this is often called the tongue) - with the 'A' upright, the black
one should be on the left.  Note on the sides of the housings there are
dovetails - slide the two housings together with the dovetails engaged.

You will find other 'sayings' that folks use - something like 'tongues down,
hoods up, the black one is on the right' Either way works, so use whatever
appeals to you, I just prefer to look at the end and make the 'A's upright,
and I know in that orientation the black one goes on the left.

73,
Don W3FPR
