The **5-Port 12 Volt DC Power Strip Kit (Rev 4)** offers a practical solution for managing shack power distribution, providing one input and five fused outputs. All connections utilize the ubiquitous Anderson PowerPole connectors, a standard for many amateur radio operators, ensuring a clean, organized, and safe way to power multiple 12 VDC transceivers and accessories from a single source. This design mitigates the common issue of tangled wires and overloaded connections in a typical ham shack. Rated for a maximum current of 20 Amps at 12 VDC, the strip incorporates an integrated LED to indicate when external power is applied. Each output is individually fused, a critical safety feature that protects connected equipment from overcurrent conditions without affecting other devices on the strip. This level of protection is essential for preserving sensitive radio gear during operation. Assembly requires basic soldering skills and hand tools, with a high-power soldering iron and wide chisel tip specifically recommended for best results. The kit's compact dimensions of 4.13" x 1.78" allow for flexible mounting via screw holes, making it suitable for various shack configurations and portable operations.
