Why premade? You can get 3A plastic diodes from Radio Shack
in blister pak 2/$1
Install terminals and wire as suggested in

on juliet
--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: Ken <klehman@albedo.net>
Gentleman
Is there any reason not to use the smallest grip PIDG terminal that a
wire fits into comfortably even though it is outside the ratings? I've
noticed that my 16awg wire fits into red PIDG terminals with room to
spare and seems to crimp fine (if not better) even though the larger
blue PIDG terminals are spec'd for 16 awg wire. It seems like common
sense to use the smaller terminal but I'm new at this...
thanks
Ken

Interesting you ask.
The AMP PIDG Terminals are listed as 22-18 for aircraft and 22-16 for
commercial.
As long as you use Tefzel insulation I have found no problems doing what you
suggest. Meets my pull test with My crimpers.

--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Stanley Blanton" <stanb@door.net>
Is there a standard that wires should (or could) be color coded to by
function?
The availability of different colors of tefzel wires now seems to make this
a little easier to do. I have looked at MIL-STD-681D but I don't see where
it would apply much in small aircraft.

I have not seen a standard for aircraft. However, other "modern electrical
systems" like cars and computers seem to have one. It is one heck of a lot
easier to use color than some complex labelling system in an
all-white-wire electrical installation.
We are wiring our Lancair ES with colored wire. The trim system is far
easier to do and track if you use orange, blue and green wires to mate up
with the wires on the Ray Allen servos, relay decks. etc. I wire 22 awg
22759/16 green wire to their & white and so on. I'm using black for all
ground wires because some of the sensors use the following wiring: Red =
power, black = ground and white = signal. All of our power wires for
solenoids and voltage regulators will be red. Yellow is also used for
power to mate up with a device that has yellow for its power input.
If you need colored Tefzel 22759 in 22 thru 12 AWG, contact Deb Sullivan
at WireMasters. They have the best prices by far. 22 AWG is 5 cents a
foot. They sell in 100 foot minimums, except for 2 and 4 AWG. There is a
$50 minimum order. Their number is: 800 635-5342
Cheers,
John

Stan, What a good question!
Certainly there are more color codes than colors, and there are a zillion
special codes used for Blasting, Telephones, etc. but there are some things
that engineers consider standard practices
First the household wiring (There are codes for these)
Function North American International
Hot Black Brown
Neutral White Blue
Earth (Ground) Green Green with yellow stripe
DC Battery stuff (Codes...What's a code?)
Positive Red
Negative Black
Ground (Not necessarily negative!) green or green/yellow stripes
There really aren't any official function-color correspondences other than
these. Generally speaking use the red, black and green as above, and make
your own codes.
And always remember when defusing bombs, cut the green wire first....or is
it the blue wire?

I just found that the RG battery in my Beech was discharged down to 5 volts since
putting it the hangar 3 weeks ago. [ Gee! Wonder how that could have happened?
Take pity and don't answer.]
The problem now is that it does not want to take a charge. What is the proper way
to re-charge a seriously depleted RG batt?
Thanks for any advice.
Jim

I not sure but my best guess would be to discharge your wallet :-)

Find and use a constant-current charger to get the battery up to
standard potential.

I would try the "Battery Tender". It has worked for me in the past. It
charges at a very low amperage and is fully automatic. Here is the website for
more info.
