" It is also worth investing in some of the accessories- eg the PVC
'boots' and panel mount holders, plus the pins to 'lock' blocks of
connectors together if you are making your own multi-way connectors. "

The Power Pole manufacturers love you guys ! Used to be you could just
simply hook up a piece of gear to your power supply - not they have ops
buying special tools, connectors, cables, boots and what have you
just to make a connection. What a racket! Turn a free activity into
something that costs you money.

Decided to Power Pole all the 12V gear here

First sttempt at crimping seems to have failed because the connector would
not
slide easily into the shroud, and it was a devil of a job to get the hook
over the end of the flat spring.


Re-reading the gen, it would appear that the crimping has ended up too flat
such that even
when clipped in, there is no free movement of the wire end. portending a bad
contact if I continue.

(I expected to have to sacrifice the first attempt, but any suggestions,
please?)
