What: Free Connector Workshop focusing on learning about and constructing
power cable assemblies using Anderson PowerPole connectors.
This year's agenda will highlight "Make and Take Accessories." See attached
list for parts/group buy information. I will purchase the group buy
designated parts in advance, based on the number of responses and collect
payment at the workshop via cash, check, PayPal (Friends and Family), or
Zelle.
Feel free to purchase/bring your own parts and assemble them at the workshop
using your own tools or tools available at the workshop. Other items (too
many to list) will be available for purchase at the workshop to assist in
your project.
New to PowerPoles? Come learn how to use them, incorporate them into your
projects, and "try before you buy" the necessary tools.
How (To):
- Briefs on Anderson PowerPole connectors (the ARES/RACES standard) and
demonstrations on various configurations to assemble.
- Hands on use of PowerPole crimpers and other tools/materials to construct
your accessories.
Why: Get the creative juices flowing!
Notes:
No experience or bringing equipment is necessary, come and learn from
others! If you have a situation where you need assistance in getting a
connector/advice on equipment, please bring that equipment to the workshop
and let the "Brain Trust" have a crack at solving the issue.
You do not have to participate in the "Accessories" projects.
Pam - KB3SWS will have her sm?rg?sbord available throughout the afternoon.
