[Elecraft] Power Poles...

[Phil & Debbie Salas]

I've used these PowerPole connectors for several years, both for mobile and 
fixed station use.  I've never had a problem with these connectors coming 
apart, even in the mobile environment.  I crimp the wire to the contacts 
using the West Mountain Radio crimper, and all crimps have been perfect.  I 
don't use that little roll-pin however.  I normally put a dab of superglue 
on one housing just before sliding the red & black housings together.  I do 
this before snapping the wire/contacts into the completed housing.  I've 
built somewhere between 100-200 connector pairs so far (I'm on my second bag 
of 100 pairs).
