Anderson Powerpoles

About a year go I started converting power connections in the ham shack to Anderson Powerpoles and I really like them.

Years ago in my earlier ham shack I used banana plugs. I’ve still got a drawer full of them. When I started having multiple boxes in the shack that needed 12V, my first instinct was to build another power distribution box using banana jacks and plugs.

Then a fellow ham told me about Anderson Powerpoles.  I took a look at the RIGrunner 4008H at my local HRO and bought it on the spot.

The connections are positive and I like the fact that every output is fused. So now I keep a back of Powerpole connectors and crimper on hand.

My new solar powered ham station project is using Anderson Powerpoles throughout.
