Anderson PowerPole Distribution Board

Project Description

This is a project for the Johnson County Radio Amateurs Club (JCRAC) build project of July 2026. You can replicate this project easily using the schematic diagram, bill of materials and Gerber files provided below.

The PowerPole Distribution Board allows you to operate up to five pieces of equipment from a single DC source. It provides five individual Anderson PowerPole outlets sourced from a single, fused DC PowerPole input. The board provides a status LED indicating both "power on" and "fuse blown" conditions.

You can build it for around $20 - - much less than commerical units - - and in the process have fun constructing it. It will be a valuable addition to your shack or mobile station.
