[Elecraft] Alternatives to PowerPoles?

[Alan Biocca]

1) Anderson PowerPoles can be configured to be gendered, though the
"Ham Radio Standard" configuration did not choose to do this.

2) I have used the Molex since Heathkit days. Lots of them. They are
just plain unreliable in the longer term.

3) PowerPoles can easily be locked together when desired, but having
them pop apart easily is often preferred. It is up to the user this
way.

4) PowerPoles are not ideal, but they are the best thing going at this
time in the cost and performance category.

Show us better alternatives.. 12V 30A rated, low cost, low loss,
polarity protected, physically small, cable and chassis mount, readily
available, rated for lots of connect/disconnect cycles, easy to
install and plug/unplug.
