Anderson Powerpole Connectors
Tools You Will Need
Start With The End In Mind
Parts That Make It Up
How many connectors do you need◦ Max DC/Servo Motor Controllers is 4 so use 4
How long should the connectors be◦ Between controllers can be short◦ Use the first for the battery◦ Use the Last for the Samantha
Plan The Harness
Account for Single Connectors
Measure Out Lengths Make middle
lengths the same Longer for Battery Longer for
Samantha
Stripping the ends is easy but doing the middle is not.
Strip Middle Wires
•Cut with knife•Fold back•Peal back insulation with long nose pliers
Crimp On ConnectorPlace on connector Finished connector
Crimp Connector
Warning!!!DO NOT OVER CRIMP
Correct Way To Insert Into Cap
When inserted correctly it will snap in place. Make sure it is square with the metal side down.
Use a small screw driver to push it in place.
Slide Hook Together The two parts will
slide and lock together. Make sure the are on the correct side when you do this.
The harness will be opposite the straight parts connected to the controllers
A Few Caveats Samantha cable is
smaller than other cables
Take a piece of 12 gauge wire and wrap Samantha 20 gauge wire around it before crimping
Battery cable is larger than other cables
Peal some of the wire back on the black wire to get a snug fit
Red wire will work with no adjustments
