[NSRCA-discussion] Arming plug manufacturer and source?

[Tim Taylor]

I use Anderson connectors on a lot of electric stuff. They do pit at the very end of the connector when connected but that is not where the final connection is made which makes the pitting a moot point. The final contact point, and the one that is important is farther up and I've not had a set go bad yet. I prefer them to anything else.

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.
