[Elecraft] Anderson Powerpole connector

[george fritkin]

I solder crimp connections especially RF.  My only question is what harm can it do?  In production is saves lots of time, but how many crimp connections does a typical ham do in a year?  At 82 feet up on a tower I rather be safe than "climb"

If those connectors were no good I would have to ask why every electric fork
lift on the planet uses that connector design?

How long would a connector last at your voltage drops while operating at 48
volts @ 200 amps?  Can you imagine the heat dissipation?

Crimp the connector as specified!
