Binding posts (American models), are only rated at 5 Amps in standard
Laboratory 5 way size.
Properly assembled Anderson Connectors with their clip do not move around.
They are silver plated, a big plus over other available power connectors.
The contacts are self cleaning each time they are plugged in. The contacts
are typically much larger than most contacts on the market save military
and undersea connectors, which are beyond most ham budgets.
They are far superior to the old Molex type connectors of tin plated brass
that hams used and abused for portable connections.
There are some German connectors that are very strong, but I do not know of
their world wide availability.
