[Elecraft] Anderson Powerpole connector

The good thing about this problem... 0 amps at 0 voltage drop :-).

The only problem I have had with the Anderson Powerpoles is from my
installing the connectors.
I will lose the 12 volts to a piece of gear and it always boils down to the
same thing.  The leaf didn't snap over the mating piece inside the
connector.  Looking in at the end of the connector I can see that it didn't
slide down completely.  If I can't snap it all the way in with my fingers I
place the connector vertically on the bench and insert a small flat blade
screwdriver and push down on the edge of the leaf until it snaps.  Now I
always check the connector after assembly to make sure it has snapped in
properly.
