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.
