Hmm, haven't noticed anything in testing but I'm not flying as of yet so no t sure of the final outcome. Hopefully it is in a isolated enough location (baggage compartment away from the radios) that it shouldn't be an issue i f it does have a radiation problem. I'll report back once I'm to that poin t.

Joe ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 08:09:22 AM PST US From: Bob White Subject: Re: AeroElectric-List: How to attach wire to D-sub female pin Hi Ralph, I would recommend going with the RCT-3. It gives you a 4 point crimp, and will definitely make the proper crimp so that the pin will fit into the connector body correctly. I don't have any experience using the two sided crimp tool on these pins, but if you get an oval shape out of it, it could cause problems either with installing the pins or removing them later (which is a big advantage of the slip in pins).

It may be tight, but it is certainly not the correct type of crimp for the pin. Using the proper crimper can save problems in the future. The cost of the proper crimper should be worth it since you will probably be using it more as you wire your aircraft. The machined d-sub pins can also be used in the smaller pin CPC connectors as well. The machined pins and sockets are higher quality than the open barrel type of pins and again can prevent phantom problems in the future.

OK, another question, maybe I can get something right: would the IDEAL 30-426 (http://www.idealindustries.com/prodDetail.do?prodId=30-426) be a worthy replacement for the RCT-3? I can get the IDEAL crimper today from Frys for about the same price as the RCT-3; the latter would have several days delay shipping.

You need a tool like the RCT-3 designed to do a proper 4-point crimp for the pin in your picture.

You need the 4 point crimp tool for round machined pins. Anything that squeezes in form 2 sides may cause grief in the long run. Bob W.

If you can't get a 4-quad tool, it would be better to solder them on. Tin the strands. Cut a piece of .032" solder and stick it down inside the wire socket. Heat the pin and push and hold the wire bottomed out until it cools.
