Chunzehui F-1011 6-Position 45A Power Pole Distribution Block Module, Connect...

Great value. Metal case is great. Density is good. Small foot print. Only negative is you cant use a locking insert that APP and WM sell. but not a big deal or deal breaker for me. I've used a couple of these and 2 other styles of APP blocks from Chunzehui . I opened them all, and think they are well made. The mates they come with aren't the real APP, but sooo close, you have to look real hard to tell they arent. I have real APP connectors, and they fit perfect in to these blocks. To me, to make one of these perfect, I added a set of flying leads to one with an APP on the end, so it plugs into the fused Chunzehui block and I have all six ports available. I also added a reverse polarity protection, and as with the flying leads I hardwired a LED (green good 12v, red backwards 12v). Didnt take much and works great for the accessory power (low power stuff) for the odds and ends on the radio shelf. Chunzehui , would love for you guys to make an protection block like WM makes. Theirs is very good, just pricey. I would believe Chunzehui can do it for 1/2 the price. Every Radio shack working of of an AC-DC power supply and or battery back up should have one. OV protection and low voltage disconnect all on one.

Works perfectly in my mobile.

This DC distribution block is very well made. The enclosure is solid and each PowerPole (or equivalent, couldn't tell the difference if it was from another manufacturer) was installed perfectly with the contacts all the way nested to the end of each connector. Voltage input to connector 1 dropped 0.1V at connector 6 with a 12A load. Normally I would build a DC distribution block myself but the price was right and time was a factor. I don't think I will be DIY distribution blocks going forward.

Six positions? ---- You really only get one input and five outputs. I thought I would get slick and wire in power directly by removing it from the case and going at it that way. LOL! NADA, NIL, Nope. The case is just barely big enough to fit the distribution block. BUT... while having it open, I discovered that while it may look cheap , it's built like a tank. Electrically reinforced to handle some serious current. I can definitely power a 100 watt HF radio and a 50 watt VHF/UHF radio and NOT worry about this melting.

The ‘PowerPole’ plug has become a near standard in Amateur Radio and other 12vdc hobby applications where you are often/ constantly changing mobile radio equipment, setting up/ taking back down a radio setup in a State Park, or out in your backyard. This particular ‘PowerPole’ is a bus PowerPole that allows several radios and/or other accessories to easily also plug-in and share a common power supply battery. And, unlike just using stripped wires to connect to power… PowerPoles have the actual connector contacts up inside the PowerPole plastic housing, so no fear of a short circuit of a dropped battery or rig power wire using PowerPole connectors. Don’t know how I ‘survived’ before these came on the market! Yes a bit pricy… but worth it!

I am a ham radio person who is converting my old 'spade terminal' power connections to the (my opinion) better power Anderson pole type. This f-1011 seems well built. Do not count on 45 amps from any one connector. This works well for my 20 to 25 amp draw transmitters. The extra connectors are good for powering the lights and stuff on all of the little 12V meters and tuners. I like it.

I bought one, it's been in service for quite a while. Now I need another one and Chunzehui will fit the bill! Being the curious type and very willing to modify things, I've had this one apart to check it out. All six PP are in parallel so I am currently using one set of connectors as my power input and the other five as outputs. I agree with other reviewers, it's tightly packed in there, not much room for mod's, but I think I could possibly fit a set leads into it to free up one set of connectors for use as an output and drive the flying leads with my power supply. Also I think I could insert an red/green led in the circuit for polarity indication.

This item is very nice and works well. Plug the power in and split it with all the other outlets.

This item was delivered very quickly from China. Have already installed the power pole distribution block in my radio shack and distributes power to three radios from the one 25A power supply. Is small and light and would not transmit on more than one radio at a time.

Seht guter Powerpole Verteiler. Mit einem 4 zu 1 Kabel (zugegeben sehr günstig - Alu Kabel???) hatte ich Probleme mit zu hohem Spannungsabfall bei hoher Leistung. Hiermit ist mit mein Funkgerät bisher nie wieder aus gegangen, weil die Spannung zu stark eingebrochen wäre plus es bleiben noch genug Abgänge für andere Sachen wie Ladegerät oder KFZ 12 V Adapter.

I use this for my radio gear. It’s simple and I can’t see it failing any time soon. Note that you will need to screw it down to a base.

'PowerPole' connectors don't quite mate as well with the North American connectors. Distribution unit fit well in vehicle and after only a week, all is well.

Rugged and useful for organizing the 13.8 V circuits in my Ham station.
