Hello!

We have just recently started to use Anderson PowerPole connectors as a our main power connection.
There are a few reasons for this:

1. Quick connections, if any replacements needed to be made, it would only be a matter of replacing components, no need for soldering or any odd work.

2. Tight solid crimp, in order to achieve a good connection with these connectors, please consider purchasing the special crimp tool. The connection for the tongue (which is the actual contact) is extremely tight, you can solder if you really want to.

3. Vibration and shock resistant, these connectors will not simply pop off, they require a good bit of force. Our main electrical mentor recommend that I connect these PowerPoles and then apply heat shrink over them for extra caution!

We are currently using the 45A connectors, which seem to be working great. You can use 30A, but 45A is ideal. Personally, I remember I used to absolutely hate these connectors because they were so difficult to crimp, but eventually I got the hang of it.

Remember to use the special crimp tool for these connectors, and twist the wire into the contact, and then insert the contact into the 45A slot so that the contact makes a "U" shape (in other words you want the contact to crimp inwards..)

We are planning on using these PowerPole connectors with the new Talon SRX motor controllers this year!

Good luck!
