Re: Anderson Powerpole Connectors: crimper and 30/45 amp?
Before we got a proper APP crimper, we had one student and two mentors who could crimp APPs with 90% or better consistency, and most other students at 50% or less. Now most of the controls students and several others can reliably make APP crimps. Get the tool.
Edit: We crimp, tug test, then flow a tiny bit of solder to the inside of the connection; we heat the stranded wire on one side and feed it into the wire on the opposite side. Don't flow any solder onto the outside of the APP connector, or it will not fit into the housing.
