PowerPoles - Not for Permanent Installations


 

A note on PowerPoles ... if not "used" (connecting/disconnecting) often, they
can develop resistance in that two-spring contact. Enough to slow or even stop
100-200mW loads.

Look at a cross-section of the contacts - and see how very little metal-to-metal
contact there actually is.

So - using for non-permanent installations, like taking equipment to events or?
for demos - is great. But if not "working" by disconnecting-connecting, the?
contacts can corrode and create a little resistance.
Tiny Jones' screw plug connectors are a great choice for shack installations.
