Anderson Power Pole

Many of you have asked about using the smaller Anderson Power Pole connectors for interconnect on your robots. West Mountain Radio, makers of the CBAIII battery analyzer now have a video that shows how to crimp and connect using the Anderson series connector in an adopted amateur radio wiring standard. The video can be found here...

West Mountain also sells the crimp tool, contacts and housings. Wildstang has been using these connectors for many years to allow quick change on all motors. We have have even used them for making a wiring harness when power is needed for an attachment or tower assy. They are polarity protected so that you can't plug them in wrong and they assemble into larger groups simply by snapping together.
