Re: [Elecraft] Alternatives to PowerPoles?
Alan most Molex connectors are designed for price. They are ok for 15 to 25 in/and out connections. You need a mil spec connector to hack the job long term. No connector lasts forever unless you never touch them. Let me put it more accurately, if you pay less than ten bucks for the connector, plan on replacing it in the long haul. Connectors and sockets are a large part of the cost of any manufactured project George Marr - Original Message - From: "Alan Biocca" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Friday, April 11, 2008 11:24 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Alternatives to PowerPoles? 1) Anderson PowerPoles can be configured to be gendered, though the "Ham Radio Standard" configuration did not choose to do this. 2) I have used the Molex since Heathkit days. Lots of them. They are just plain unreliable in the longer term. 3) PowerPoles can easily be locked together when desired, but having them pop apart easily is often preferred. It is up to the user this way. 4) PowerPoles are not ideal, but they are the best thing going at this time in the cost and performance category. Show us better alternatives.. 12V 30A rated, low cost, low loss, polarity protected, physically small, cable and chassis mount, readily available, rated for lots of connect/disconnect cycles, easy to install and plug/unplug. -- Alan, wb6zqz ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] Crinp or Solder
I worked for a Australian connector company in New Zealand as a Product Manager I gave seminars to the utility companies (NZ Power Boards) on how to crimp. The crimping process is not to get a tool and crimp the hell out of it. If you over crimp in time as the cable expands and contracts with heat and cold it will fracture. If you compress the terminal with a low amount of pressure it will burn off in time, The proper tool with the correct die regardless of the wire size is critical for the quality control. Soldering is fine as long as you heat shrink the connection to provide strain relief. I always use a larger wire size than the current allows to make sure that the wire will not temperature flex with the load. This is why with jap cars you must run more wire from the battery if you add anything say a E2 or E3 mobile rig. The wire in the car is "Exactly" the size for the current, add load and it will burn out.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Wait list
When I moved from NYC to Auckland New Zealand in ' 76 I learned that things do not go to plan in ZL I quickly learned that nothing was the same as in the big apple. Then I saw it almost in neon lights, a ZL expression: "She'l be right mate" at this point I calmed down and realized that 3000 mile from where this thing is being built it really does not matter. In fact do not get fussed, there is nothing that you can do about it. Being an east coast cynic, their cash flow might need help, so if they want to bill me for the full amount now this is fine. anything to help.
