I recently had an application of using a fused 12VDC distribution panel and originally purchased the Rigrunner 4005 like shown here... I also purchased several 12VDC power cables for my different Ham radio units that had the Anderson ends on them... I could never keep the Anderson plugs to stay inserted in the Rigrunners. Everytime I went thru bumpy roads they would fall out it seems.
When one of Radios didn't have power I would open the cabinet door and sure enough one had fell out again. Never spent much time seeing what I needed to do as I think I read somewhere where a small pin could be used to hold them inserted.
My fix was to cut the Anderson ends off the cables and I installed a BLUE SEA 12VDC fused panel like shown here and used crimp-on ring terminals... The BLUE SEA Sub Panels liked my 4AWG DC input cable ring terminals better anyway... Don't have the falling out problem anymore...
