RadioBanter - WTD: Powerpole 180A Connectors

In article ,
says...

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 !!).

Are you referring to Anderson Power Products, specifically their
'MultiPole' line as shown here?

The connectors themselves can be had through Allied Electronics.
Take a look at this link.

Keep in mind, though, that you'll need a specialized (and
expensive -- $200 at least) heavy-gauge crimping tool to deal with the
heavy-gauge contacts. If you can't get hold of the appropriate tool
(Greenlee makes a very nice hex crimper -- it looks like a big pair of
garden shears, but with crimp dies instead of blades), I can offer
small-scale assembly services at a cheap rate ($40/hour, half-hour
minimum, see my web site, etc.)

Happy hunting.
