PowerPoles - Not for Permanent Installations

Clint Bradford All Messages By This Member #19193 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. -- Clint Bradford K6LCS http//www.work-sat.com

Chris Smart All Messages By This Member #19195 开云体育 Yes, I’ve never heard this about PowerPoles until now. ? If that were a post full of medical assertions, I would ask for supporting evidence from peer-reviewed publications. I’m not sure if the electronics world has such a thing… ? ? toggle quoted message Show quoted text From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Dale Robins - 2W0ODS Sent: December 31, 2021 5:22 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Yaesu-FT-60] PowerPoles - Not for Permanent Installations ?

Clint Bradford All Messages By This Member #19198 Anderson themselves acknowledge the phenomenon ... And please - I hope no one saw my original post and interpreted it as, "DRAMATIC POWER LOSS? WHEN USING POWERPOLES!!!!!" It is just a matter of physics ... and Anderson, too, promotes the? "cleaning/wiping" of the models we're using in amateur radio. -- Clint Bradford K6LCS http//www.work-sat.com

I have worked with these for years in industry, they are used in mission critical UPS systems, medical life support, robotics, industrial automation and the list goes on. If you had an issue then that is likely due to any of the following: Non genuine Anderson Power Pole terminals and/or housing Incorrectly terminated terminals Wrong type of connecter for environment or wrong terminal plating. They are available in tin or silver plated. Current capability exceeded for particular terminal or series of connector. "Anderson themselves addresses the phenomenon ... Flat wiping contact system Allows for minimal contact resistance at high current, wiping action cleans contact surface during connection/disconnection." You have taken that out of context completely.?
Clint Bradford All Messages By This Member #19200 开云体育 I am not condemning genuine Anderson Powerpoles. Nor their use by the? amateur radio community. I, too, have used them for commercial clients (from? our 15-20AH models, to those used by Crown forklift charging systems) - as well as? for mobile emergency comms centers, and just good ole ham installations. >> ... You had an isolated issue... No - I didn’t author the laws of physics nor contact resistance. ..?Non genuine Anderson Power Pole terminals and/or housing ... Not me. Genuine Powerpoles only from authorized Anderson dealers are the only ones? we should be using. "Anderson themselves addresses the phenomenon ... Flat wiping contact system Allows for minimal contact resistance at high current, wiping action cleans contact surface during connection/disconnection." You have taken that out of context completely.? That is about as on-point a comment from Anderson on the exact models we are using in the? ham radio community as one can get.? Anderson is shut down for the weekend. I’ll call my rep next week and get back to you. Clint Bradford -- Clint Bradford K6LCS http//www.work-sat.com

James F. Boehner, MD All Messages By This Member #19205 To all, This has been quite a discussion about PowerPoles, and we have heard multiple facts and opinions. I realize I do not step in often and generally moderate in "quiet-mode" but this list is specifically about the Yaesu FT-60 handheld and we need to keep on topic for all of those who subscribed to this list for this reason in the first place. Let's consider this topic closed and return to discussions specifically regarding the FT-60. Thank you and Happy New Year! Listowner [email protected]
