Reasons not to solder PowerPoles:
1) It is very hard to control the wicking of solder into a stranded
wire. Allowing this to happen can create a failure point in
applications where vibration is present. And there can be a
surprising amount of vibration in a rack mounted piece of electronic

*Smaller* being what Skipp? I've had excellent results using

I second that.
I myself have found these little power pole connectors (which are
recommended by emergency groups) to be a bit too delicate for me. And
if improperly built, will have little or almost no contact tension

But can't you say that about anything? An improperly built repeater will
not be as reliable as one that is properly built. Is that the fault of
the equipment or the builder?

Were they authentic Anderson Power Poles or some other brand. I've been

There are three ratings of PP that all use the same size shell. These
are the 40 Amp, 30 Amp, and I believe the third is 15 or 20 Amp. Most of
the ones you see sold are the 30 Amp version. The 40A is built obviously
heavier than the other two.
My previous comments were all relative to the 30A
The only difference is the size of wire that will fit.
