<DIV><SPAN class=442554718-23012007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Hi
Gang,</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=442554718-23012007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>You
really do want to use a Sermos or Anderson Stackpole connector for
this.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=442554718-23012007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>All
the connectors you have mentioned rely on the first-contact surface as part of
the final mate, or rub that first contact area against the entire mating
surface.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=442554718-23012007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The
Stackpole connector mates and the arc damaged area rolls away from the mating
surface. This is better for low loss over many cycles and
flights.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=442554718-23012007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>There
is even an outfit that now sells a mated pair of the 45 Amp stackpole connectors
glued into a Du-Bro fuselage wall-mount switch.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=442554718-23012007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>For
our purposes, you'd need 2 of the size we often see in aeromodelling, or
one of the next size up.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can't help with those specific connectors -
however I do exactly the same thing with the Deans, mounting the female in the
fuse recessed so that the male (when connected) is flush with the fuse
surface. I make a handle / jumper from brass stock / heat shrink.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Works reliably and, as you point out, provides
for convenient and safe connect / disconnect of the power.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>All, we are using these connectors to make up
our Jumper Plugs for higher amp, and Pattern electrics. The female goes in
the plane on the Plus lead from the battery to the ESC and is mounted with a
bracket to take the "push in--pull out loads.The Male pins are jumpered
with #12 wire and then insulated with heat shrink, as a result the
resistance through the jumper is not measurable on my Fluke</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We call it "Sparky" because it snaps when you
plug it in--ESC load-.This way you turn on the Rx. and check the plane
out--then plug the jumper in--listen to the arming/check sounds- move the
throttle to idle--and go fly. When you land you pull the plug--then turn the
Rx. off--that way you do not rely on the ESC or throttle "off" to make
sure the motor does not turn back on.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Have seen a couple actually do that after
landing and stopping, once before someone got to the plane, and the
second as it was being carried back. </FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The plastic body measures 0.355in
long X 0.280in thick X 0.500in wide.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Contact area is about 0.160in deep and
0.350 wide-gold plated-, on each side, so it can easily handle the
I.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now the problem--I bought these in a hobby shop
several years ago, and of course he no longer has them, or even remembers
them. They have more contact area than other similar
connectors (Anderson power poles),so are the best thing out there I have
found. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does anyone know where I can get some, or who
may have made them. I assume they were originally made for
cars.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There is a second e-mail with the oyher two
views coming.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks</FONT></DIV>
