Anderson Powerpole Connectors

They also can be joined together, side by side, to make a convenient plug/receptacle.

There are "roll pins" available that slide into the hole and secure the paired connectors so they will not slide apart. However, these roll pins are metal and if they happen to fall out, they can short whatever they land on. We know that from experience! So instead we suggest Q-Tip shafts, they actually hold better and are non-conductive. Just push them through the hole and trim them off flush with the plastic housing.

Powerpole connectors offer a low resistance connection with very low voltage drop. They use silver plated contacts that are held in strong contact by rigid plastic housings.

The Powerpole contacts we carry handle up to 30 Amps, which is sufficient for most ham radio needs. We sell sets with 1 red and 1 black housing and two contact pins, or you can buy individual red and black housings and contacts separately.

These connectors are preferred by many amateur radio emergency groups. See the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o31iuOcQ-jo.

Molex Connectors

We find that a special crimping tool is not necessary as many small pliers work well, but we do recommend crimping and then soldering the wire to the pins for a more permanent and reliable connection. A portion of the larger "wings" on the pins can be snipped off for smaller wire sizes.

Be sure to use: female pins in male connectors, and male pins in female connectors, per the ARRL/ARES power connector standard. The positive or plus conductors go in the angled conductor holes. The male plug goes to the power source.
