Nuckolls, III) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 08:25:51 PM PST US From: "Neil Rosoff" Subject: AeroElectric-List: Firewall Forward Connections I am installing several sensors onto my engine (EGT, CHT, Fuel Pressure, Oil pressure and temperature, Manifold pressure, etc.) The CHT sensors came with a ring terminal that had a nut bonded to it. It was actually easy to crimp a ring terminal onto the other wire and screw the two together. The EGT sensor had regular ring terminals but provided screws, nuts and lock washers. All the other sensors have bear wires. As all of these sensors are in areas with high vibration (either directly on the engine, or on the fire wall) I was considering either using the above method of screwing the rings together, butt splicing, or AMP Mate and Locks. Screwing the rings together or using Mate and Locks would be easier, but I think the butt splice would provide a reliable connection. Is there another method that would provide both maintainability and reliable connections in high vibration areas?

Consider knife splices under heat-shrink. http://tinyurl.com/y8owslug Bob . . . ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message aeroelectric-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/AeroElectric-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/aeroelectric-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/aeroelectric-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
