WTD: Powerpole 180A Connectors

[Richard W. Solomon, W1KSZ]

The Glenayre Power Supply I got with it's companion Amp uses 180A
Powerpole Connectors for the 28 vdc output. Anyone got a spare couple
of these beasties ?? Even better would be the interconnecting power
cable, there are two ~1/4" pins for the +DC and two ~1/4" jacks for
the -DC. I found a GR double plug fits the -DC, but the +DC has me
stumped. I hate to tack solder a lead on them (too tacky !!).

I assume you are referring to the Anderson "SB" series PowerPole connectors?

Powerx sells the entire line - give them a call or send an e-mail to their
sales department.

Not really, they stop at 75 Amps.

Double check the Powerwerx site, as I seem to remember them having
larger than 75, maybe only 150. Just checked. See:
<http://www.powerwerx.com/category.asp?CtgID=3579> where they have up
to 350 Amp ones. If that's

At some hamfests, there are dealers who have used ones from electric
forklifts and other industrial equipment. Good prices, although you
may not be able to reuse the contacts. Contacts for that size will
require a major league crimper (pneumatic or hydraulic). More
practical would be a large soldering iron.

As an aside, when you get to the larger wire sizes like 1/0 or 2/0
(pronounced one aught or two aught) you would want welding cable.
Welding cable has the same cross sectional area of copper as regular
wire, but has a larger number of finer strands, which allows the whole
thing to bend. Regular wire in that size often needs a large tubing or
conduit bender to shape it.

If you need more than 350 Amp carrying capacity. . .
