OM5P-AP Power Connector
Folks:

I'm having problems with getting power reliably to the OM5P-AP radio.

I'm using the AndyMark am-2922 2.1 x 5.5mm DC Power Male Jack Connector with Screw Terminals. The barrel connector fits loosely into the radio. I can wiggle the barrel connector from side to side and see the radio power drop out momentarily when I do this.

I'm concerned about the reliability of this connection when the robot is bouncing around on the field.

Also, I looked at the radio suppliers website where they sell power supplies, but don't seem to publish any details on the required connector.

Anyone else have any views on this?
