>> Ron,
>>
>> West Mountain Radio is a good source for Anderson Powerpole products.
>>
>> West Mountain sells various distribution boxes that use the Powerpoles.
>> These boxes come with 5 to 12 powerpole connections so that you can
>> connect
>> all of your stations 12 volt equipment to one power supply.  Each of the
>> powerpole connectors is fused with an easy to change and obtain 
>> automotive
>> type fuse.
>>
>> The powerpole system consists of two plastic housings, one is red and the
>> other is black in color.  There are metal contacts that you attach to 
>> your
>> power leads of your various pieces of equipment that then snap in to the
>> plastic housings.  These contacts come in three sizes, up to 15 amps, up
>> to
>> 30 amps and up to 45 amps.
>>
>> The 15 amp contacts accept number 20 - 16 gauge wire
>> the 30 amp contacts accept 16 - 12 gauge wire
>> the 45 amp contacts accept 14 - 10 gauge wire.
>>
>> The contacts are crimped on to the wires with a specific crimping tool.
>>
>> The plastic housings are made so that they snap, actually slide together
>> so
>> they make a solid rigid two connector plug.
>>
>> The housings and contacts are designed so that you do not have a male and
>> female connector.  It is kind of hard to describe how they work but two 
>> of
>> the same connectors can be connected together.
>>
>> They are actually keyed so that you can not connect them backwards.
>>
>> A 12 pair pack, consisting  of 24 contacts, 12 red and 12 black housings
>> costs $13 for the 15 and 30 amp versions and $18 for the 45 amp versions.
>> Packs of 100 pairs cost $80 and $120 respectively.
>>
>> Hope this helps.
