Thanks in anticipation Peter ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:03:13 PM PST US From: Ken Subject: Re: AeroElectric-List: Transorb voltage for 14V system Peter 18 volt seems to be the ones to use... I used a few of them in a couple of places.

How does one use the little pigtails that are designed to bring the shield of a coax cable out to a wire? The ones I have are from Steinair and have a special clear heatshrink with a metal ring in the center and a small wire under the heatshrink and ring that can be attached to a terminal or pin. I slid the whole works over a stripped coax shield and put a heatgun on it. The sleeve shrank around the coax just fine but the ring was a bit larger than the shield and didn't melt like I expected (someone told me it was solder ring that would melt around the shield and the pigtail wire). Is this true? Or am I supposed to crimp the metal ring before shrinking the shrinkwrap. Or what......?????????????? Thanks.

I am puting this box inside the flap enclosure of my RV, thus hiden in a place out of sight. Since I need, for some operations, to see the LED, I am thinking in puting another 3 colour LED somewhere in the panel. How should I connect the pannel LED to the circuit LED? Is it just a 3 wire connection? And both LED's would show the same? TIA Carlos
