Re: Anderson power pole connectors

Hi Al,
Well, no, I had heard from a fellow ham that there were different plastics, or perhaps a heavier wall in some of the housing that hold the 15-45 amp units. I was hoping since Jeff worked there he would know.

I've always been very happy with them since I started using the proper crimper. They are on every thing 12volt I own practically. Very handy.
