[Mobile-Portable] Best #10 Wire for Mobile Apps?

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

As much as I dislike Anderson Power Pole connectors,

these Mate-n-Lok appear to me to be nothing more

than slightly (if that much) redesigned Molex connectors.

I don't think much of what I see there and would probably

stick with the PowerPoles rather than go here.

 

Later connectors with LARGE FLAT blades such as those

that are being used on some Icom rigs would seem to be

a better choice.
