HCDC HD062 8 Output DC Power Distribution Block Module for 15/30/45A Connects

As a Ham Radio Operator, this was perfect or my ham shack! The included connectors were easy to attach to the power cables either by crimp or solder. Now I am able to swap my radios from portable to base and back as simple as unplugging a cord. This is also compatible with my solar charger and battery system making it easy to use any power source in a flash. Highly Recommend!

High-quality assemble with baked painted finish. heavy gauge metal should last forever. I tested all the connectors and they work perfectly. The connectors are smooth and fit well.I'm looking forward to installing this on a battery go-box.

Great value and as described

Works great. All of my power pole connectors fit just fine.

I recently got my hands on the HDC 8 port power distribution block as a ham radio operator, and I must say, it's been a game-changer for my field operations. When you're out in the field making radio contacts, having the right equipment is essential, and this distribution block has proven to be a reliable addition to my setup.One of the standout features of this unit is its ability to handle up to 45A of current. This means that no matter what I throw at it, it can handle the load without breaking a sweat. The aluminum enclosure gives it a sturdy and robust feel, and the inclusion of 8 ports with Anderson Power Pole connectors makes it incredibly versatile.Speaking of Anderson Power Pole connectors, they are brilliant, and this distribution block lets you connect up to 8 of them in any configuration you need. I primarily use it for my portable radio operations when I have multiple pieces of equipment that need power from a single source. The setup is incredibly clean and organized, and it's so much easier than trying to bolt in a pair of bus bars.The fact that it's fully insulated is a bonus, and it adds an extra layer of safety to my setup. Plus, its compact size allows it to fit into tight spaces, making it ideal for remote operations where space is limited. It feels sturdy and well-made, so I have confidence that it will last for a long time.One thing I wish it had was built-in fuses at the input to protect against shorts. I ended up adding my own inline fuse in the wiring to address this concern. It's a minor inconvenience, but it would have been a nice feature to have.In conclusion, the HDC 8 port power distribution block has proven to be a valuable addition to my ham radio setup. It's efficient, versatile, and helps keep my wiring neat and organized. Despite a minor quibble about the lack of built-in fuses, this product is a winner and makes my field operations much smoother. If you're looking for a reliable power distribution solution for your ham radio equipment, I highly recommend giving this one a try.

2nd one I purchased, due to health reasons I didn’t try it until it was past the return date. Same problem with this unit, the power poles on the unit are off, the connectors won’t plug in!

Power poles are a standard connector in many applications including power for emergency and mobile communications. By standardizing on these versatile and low-loss connectors, devices can be moved around and powered from different sources very easily.With this in mind, the power pole equivalent of an outlet strip is a great thing to have around. In communications, especially emergency and disaster communications, ruggedness is a key quality. This distribution block is very well made and should last a long time, even under difficult conditions. The unit is quite compact (5"Lx1.5"Wx2"H) It has one input and eight outputs although, in actuality, all nine connections are interchangeable. They all are connected as one power bus. The connectors follow the correct standard (power poles can be assembled in a left or right handed manner.) and will work fine with any other equipment that follows normal conventions. Right after taking the unit out of the box, plugged in some existing connectors from my station and was up and running.The box contains a complete set of mating connectors. This is good for those who are converting to power poles but also add to the value of the product since a quick check shows that, if bought separately, the connectors would be around $14.I also like that the unit has mounting ears (the mounting holes are 5 1/8" (130 mm) apart. This unit is small enough to be mounted anywhere. I'm thinking about attaching to the outside of a DC power supply or the back of a workbench/table. In the and, perhaps it is best left free to be easily used in different ways in the field.This is a quality product and will be very useful to anyone who is standardizing on power poles for their power connections.
