[Elecraft] Anderson Connector

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Just out of curiosity, I put a strain gage on a power cord and checked the
force required to un-mate the APP connector from three pieces of equipment. 

One took just 5 lbs.

The second took 7 lbs. 

The third took just 5.5 lbs.

I've never had an APP connector disengage accidentally.

According to:

"When two pairs are mated together, it takes approximately 3 pounds of
tension to pull them apart."
