    Here are a few pics of the connector in case anything can be determined by the pic. Will post pics of crimps when I remove wires and assess. Thanks for the input all.

Thanks for the input all. Dave It is interesting that the nylon housing appears uniformly discolored suggesting uniform distribution of 'stress' through the connector. Loss of conductive integrity is usually concentrated in one of the several wires where a failure cascade began. This suggests a distributed condition probably based in inadequate crimps on all the wires. Presence or lack of DE grease for moisture exclusion was probably not a factor in this failure. What tool was used to install the terminals? DE grease is a good idea for joints at particular risk for corrosion due to moisture ingress. We used to pack a coax connector with DC4 before mating followed by lotsa wrap with Scotch 33 tape on towers. Having a connector go south 175 feet up on a tower is a real pain in the arse, legs, arms, etc, etc. But generally speaking, very few situations in aircraft benefit by the addition of DE grease. If there is a situation where an electrical joining is subject to assault from moisture, there will be features other than electrical joints also under assault. Keeping the moisture off is generally better than trying to keep it out. Ref: the failed attempt at Cessna to 'seal' contactors that were receiving splash from rainwater. Bob . . .

I have attempted to offer explanations of cause/effect/remedy for a constellation of failures. Analysis of those failures was a prime-directive in my 45+ years at Cessna (3x), Beech (2x), Lear, Boeing and Electro-Mech (3x) where my work not only had to produce beneficial outcomes but was subject to review by my peers. Recall that this thread began with discussions about welding in a starter contactor (high pressure, small area contacts) due to weak battery condition . . . but morphed into some discussion about failures in battery contactors (low pressure, large area contacts) with an entirely different failure mode. You first stated that the rolled closure on the metal housing of a contactor was 'hermetic' then you suggest there is some value in orienting that joint to ward off effects of accumlated of 'water and ice'? Moisture gets into non-hermetic devices with a combination water vapor/liquid at the leak site AND a pressure differential due to effects atmosphere (weak) or temperature (strong). Battery contactors heat up significantly while energized. When de-energized, a substantial pressure differential occurs as the device cools. If there is moisture at the location of any leak, it is sucked inside. Drilling the hole in the low spot on a contactor cap facing down has two benefits. It provides a drain for liquid condensate AND a pressure relief that stops a cooling contactor from 'sucking' moisture across the non-hermetic seal at the housing-to- cap interface. I'm sorry if you feel 'attacked'. That's not my mission here. This is all about the simple-ideas in physics that drive the utility of our favorite machines. Ideas that were a foundation for a successful career and, I believe, worthy of sharing in the OBAM aviation community. If I mis-understand something, I'm intently interested in knowing it . . . as a teacher I have a duty to NOT propagate bad data. So I invite you to help sift the sands of simple- ideas and forego disparaging remarks. Bob . . .

I have no reason to believe it's not suited to our tasks although flexibility at low temperatures is not a problem for us. High flexibility at any temperature, like the welding cable, is a most convenient feature when dealing with fat wires. Bob . . .

As I recall, the legacy 912 Ducatti regulators had epoxy-fill bases . . . VERY low thermal conductivity. Not much opportunity to suck more heat out of that side. However, a 12v computer fan blowing on the top fins would make a HUGE difference. Bob . . .

    Yesterday, I pulled up the carpet and open the inspection panel to get at the antenna connector. No connection there between the aluminium airframe and the connector shield. I unscrewed the antenna and am surprised how well the old Narco AT50 transponder worked. It is doubtful there ever was a ground connection. The antenna was mounted with a cork gasket and all the original paint was still on the antenna and the plane. The antenna turned out to be a Dorne & Margolin DMNI70-2. The nice label was conveniently located hidden inside against the airplane. I cleaned up the base of the antenna with Scotchbrite and removed the paint around the screw holes on the airplane. Alumiprep and Alodine treated the bare aluminium. For good measure I will also fabricate a new RG-400 cable. Thanks for everyone's comments and advice. Jeff Page Dream Aircraft Tundra #10

Barry, You are not being attacked. You have offered many 'knowledge nuggets' in both practice and physics that were simply wrong. I and others have simply argued to correct such offers. You have accused me of being on drugs, indulging in 'three stooges logic' and then suggested you might have to sink my 'rubber duck' although the significance of that statement eludes me. No one is allowed to insult me. It's an easy choice one makes. Either an assertion is true and demands further reflection or it's false and deserves no further notice. Taking umbrage is a waste of time and emotional capital. This is not a public forum . . . it's a classroom where answers for failure are sought and the outcomes of repeatable experiments are shared. Contributors to those goals are welcome. Bob . . .

    The cork gasket should not have mattered. The ground connection should be across the screws and nuts or nut plates. At least that is how most antennas are designed. Those old Narco transponders were pretty tolerant of marginal coax connections. You do want the base of the antenna to aircraft skin joint to be sealed. Often done with narrow bead of clear or white RTV after the antenna is mounted.

    OK, had a chance to remove the wires from the connector shell. I would like to think all my crimps looked like the "good looking crimp and wire" I cannot imagine I would have proceeded without having them otherwise. But... the other wires look pretty p*ss poor! The bare wire had hardened insulation which I peeled off to inspect wire condition. Seems like a lot of corrosion for such a "young" connection! In reading Bob's related reply, I can easily be lead to believe that those (my) crimps are in the "neophyte" category for these particular terminals. I cannot recall the crimp tool name I used, but it is oe I purchased from SteinAir expressedly for doing open barrel crimps. Thoughts, insights, and opinions??

    Yes, the Ducatti Regulator bottom is mostly a non-heat conductive material. But there is an aluminum perimeter about 5 mm wide that can be coated with heat conductive paste. Some people use Zinc oxide that they buy at drug stores. Others use heat conductive paste from computer stores or from home improvement stores. Rotax spark plugs are supposed to be installed with heat conductive paste. That same product can be used under the regulator. -------- Joe Gores Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=486670#486670
