One is hooked up to my AOA warning. I would like to use the other for the audio of the Advanced Flight System 5600 EFIS I am installing. The SL-15 uses Molex 08-05-0301 connectors which are discontinued and I cannot find them anywhere. My three options seem to be: Find someone who has a connector I can purchase (failed so far but maybe one of you has an extra) Take out the connector that is in there for a speaker I am not using and use it. (Suggestions on how to remove the connector without buying the specified tool please) Hook the EFIS audio line with the AOA audio line which may not work at all if one is loading the wire all the time. Thanks so much, Ross Mickey N9PT ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 09:35:57 AM PST US From: ARGOLDMAN@aol.com Subject: Re: AeroElectric-List: SL-15 Unswitched Audio Connection the Molex 08-05-0301 itself is not a connector but refers to the finger spring contacts. They are , I believe gold plated and indeed are not available. Newark lists the following substitutes. * _39X7518_ (http://www.newark.com/molex/08-50-0187/contact-socket-20-18awg-crimp/dp/39X7518) - Product Range:6838 Series; For Use With:KK 6442, 41695 Series Crimp Terminal Housings; Contact Gender:Socket; Contact Material:Brass; Contact Plating:Tin; Contact Termination Type:Crimp ;RoHS Compliant: Yes * _20H0074_ (http://www.newark.com/molex/08-50-0187/contact-socket-20-18awg-crimp/dp/20H0074) - Product Range:6838 Series; For Use With:KK 6442, 41695 Series Crimp Terminal Housings; Contact Gender:Socket; Contact Material:Brass; Contact Plating:Tin; Contact Termination Type:Crimp ;RoHS Compliant: Yes * _01E9145_ (http://www.newark.com/molex/08-55-0103/contact-female-24-18awg-crimp/dp/01E9145) - Product Range:KK Series; For Use With:KK Series Crimp Terminal Housings; Contact Gender:Socket; Contact Material:Brass; Contact Plating:Gold; Contact Termination Type:Crimp; Wire Size AWG Min:24AWG ;RoHS Compliant: Yes The connector body , itself is also available and are listed with the above. Since they are not gold plated (with the exception of the 01E9145, if the housing is not appropriate, I would use a slight smear of an anti oxidation grease on the connector. The connector body is readily available. If you look up the below numbers at digikey, I believe when you look at one of the selections, the bottom of the description will list what connector bodies are appropriate for that contact. You just have to do a little detective work. In a message dated 7/9/2015 11:02:34 A.M.

Those things are perfect examples of 'Aviation Quality'. If you have that spare that can be moved, there's usually a little tab on the back side that prevents it from backing out. If you have something thin and narrow enough, you should be able to slide it in from the 'front' (non-wire) end and push the tab away from it's mating lock point in the shell.
