Review on π Enhanced Connectivity with Hopkins 48465 Blade Connector Kit by Mike Barnes
Low quality. Rust. Limits braking power.
Made of thin, fragile plastic. The photo shows brass contacts, but the contacts are steel with a thin coating of zinc. It rusts easily, unlike higher quality connectors that use brass. Steel also has a conductivity about half that of brass, which limits braking current, which can be a safety issue. Three year warranty but shipping at my expense and all I get is another one with the same defects. . I threw it away and bought it with brass contacts. Now there are no problems with corrosion.
Pros
- Stylish and modern design
Cons
- Requires power outlet
