[Elecraft] Power Pole connectors

[Doug Person via Elecraft]

I've had occasional issues like yours.  Usually I just replace them.  
Sometimes, for reasons not readily apparent, they just do not lock 
together well.  Every piece of equipment I have gets power through 
PowerPoles. I have 2 12-position distribution panels.  Seems like the 
PowerPoles could be improved with some type of locking mechanism when 
they are panel mounted.
