Are you replacing the connector that plugs into the K3 or are you replacing the part built in to the K3?
If the part that is built into the K3, I would strongly suggest getting the part direct from Elecraft. These have to be securely mounted within the radio. If the part that connects, note the following: PowerPole connectors come in sizes according to the current amperage required for the particular circuit. Anderson PowerPoles consist both of the red and black housing and the crimp connectors for the wires. The housing size used in the K3 is the standard size that will fit both 15, 30 and 45 amp crimp connectors. You choose the connector that fits the particular wire size. 30 amp capacity circuits are adequate to power the K3 and should be used. Unless you purchase pre-assembled connectors you will also need a crimp tool to crimp the connectors to the wires. There is also a small learning curve on how to crimp and insert the crimped wires into the housings. I would get the parts you need from a company such as Powerwerx. They can help with any connections. -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net <elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net> On Behalf Of Lee Trout Sent: Friday, May 31, 2019 8:12 AM To: Elecraft Reflector - post <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Subject: [Elecraft] K3 PowerPole connector I am looking to replace the powerpole connector on my K3. Am I correct that these 30 amp ones on fleabay are the ones I need? Thanks for any help!
