[NSRCA-discussion] Arming plug manufacturer and source?

[Ron Van Putte]

I have.  The problem with the Anderson Power Pole arming plug is that  
there will be a spark at the end of the mating surfaces when it's  
plugged in.  As time goes on, the burning/pitting will cause a poor  
electrical connection.  Then the mating surfaces must be cleaned or  
connectors replaced.  I tried using a 100 ohm resistor across the  
receptacle to allow the big capacitor in the ESC to charge, as  
suggested by Jim Oddino, but it took a long time to charge the  
capacitors and I'd often get a spark anyway.
