- One of the principle maladies of my 2x 3-500z HB amp I've acquired is low filament voltage at the tube socket--all of 4.3V. The filament xfmr is in the main power supply cabinet, going thru a run of

- Sometimes. . Crimps are not as reliable as soldered connections. A pair of #10s has around 60mV drop per foot at 30A. 30A-rated connectors with the wires soldered /not crimped/ to the connector-pins

- I NEVER rely on crimp connectors since I do not have the proper crimping tool. Plier crimping only is asking for trouble. Always crimp as well as you can and then solder. One way to tell if you have

- Even with the proper compressed air tool, I wouldn't be happy with crimped joints at 30amps. If you can use high temperature solder (or even silver solder) and shakeproof washers where screw terminal

- Scott, before abandoning crimps in favor of solder, or swapping out #10 for #2 welding wire, you should be able to actually measure where the drop is happening. On your bench arrangement, try baring

- SNIP The Johnson socket used from the days of the 4-250A to modern times has always been prone to loosing contact tension on the filament pins. Most often due to poor air flow. One quick cure is to d

- -- To: <amps@contesting.com> snip Agree. We shouldn't be too quick to blame crimp connections for high losses. I recall from my early days working at Collins radio as QC engineer that "properly" crim
