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. 73 Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of John Oppenheimer According to: http://www.powerwerx.com/anderson-powerpoles/powerpole-sets/15-amp-red-black -anderson-powerpole-sets.html "When two pairs are mated together, it takes approximately 3 pounds of tension to pull them apart."
