Trim Servo-wire connector source

Post by Terry McClary » Fri Feb 17, 2012 5:57 pm

Before the server went down there was a brief exchange on connectors. I
promised to respond with additional data but the message was returned. I
responded privately to the initial authors but saved the message to put
out for the rest of the group.

Richard,

Sorry for the delay in finding you an answer. Unfortunately the
responsibility for cables has been "outsourced" to a supplier and I
couldn't find the reference materials I was looking for.

After I read David Fife's message though I thought he is right in
his approach. Years ago when I worked at Grimes (aircraft lighting)
we used Molex connectors, Whelen ships Molex connectors on and with
their products and the other day when I was looking through the
flying clubs Cessna 172 I saw several Molex connectors in use. They
have been in use on "certified" products for many years so they
should serve us well.

So you don't have to shop through a bunch of hobby shops, try
Digi-Key. I have a 1996 catalog that has a good assortment of crimp
or soldr pin, single or multi-pin connectors.
The catalog lists a website at http://www.digikey.com or a telephone
number of 800.344.4539. There was no minimum order but there was an
adder if the order is less than $25.

I accessed the webite while I was putting this message together to
make sure I wasn't giving you out dated information. Digi-Key gives
you a choice of a US or Canadian website so most of us should be
able to order without a customs hassle. The site has a catalog,
stock status, and an on-line order form.

Hope this helps,

Terry McClary

Richard,

I recently red your message re: connectors. In the
past I have used a "molex"connector. These are used
on radio controlled airplanes and cars. They are
available through hobby shops. Cost about 6.00 a
pair. Give it a try.
