The above seems to confirm my impression from looking at the web sites
mentioned.
PowerPoles are current rated and (perhaps?) have a maximum voltage
rating. Unfortunately,
I could see having 5V, 12V, 24V, and 48V DC in one installation. Am I
wrong about this?
Are there well known conventions for idiot proof use of these connectors?
