Not me but everywhere else. There are zombies staggering up the street. So I might
pay more attention to what is going on here.
I have this schematic of changing the Alternator light from incandescent to led.
It isn't mine, and I neither know where it came from or if it works. But it looks

| Subject: | Bose Headset Plug Replacement |
Greetings Fellow Covidners!!!!
I hope you all are going well and keeping the curve flat by not being on the
curve.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a replacement solder on phones jack?
I have a Bose A20 headset and the phones plug is acting up. It does not
appear that the metal on the plug is tarnished and the symptom is that the
audio I hear is garbled and intermittent.
I have the headset power switch turned off and the battery removed so the
fancy electronics in the unit are not the culprit. When testing the phones
I have used different airplanes and different jacks and when I pinch in and
wiggle around at the base of the plug where the wires enter the phone jack
the audio comes in crystal clear.
So I think that the wires where they are soldered onto the terminals inside
the plug are bad however I cannot re-solder them on because the phones jack
is molded on plastic.unlike the good olde David Clarke that had the unscrew
phones body.
So does anyone have a recommended replacement jack.and.when I do cut off the
cable and strip the wires what color wire will go to what lug on the
replacement plug?
THANKS for your help and stay Corona free (referencing the virus and not the
beer)!!!

Strip the outer insulation of the cable a couple of inches from the plug.
Before cutting each individual wire inside of the cable, mark them somehow,
unless they are already color coded. Cut the wires. Use an ohmmeter to
determine which wire is connected to which plug contact, ring or tip or barrel.
Armed with that information, you should be able to wire the new plug.

Alternatively, cut the plug off a couple of inches from the end, and strip the
wires in the plug end to check continuity to the Tip, Ring, Sleeve.

Hi Bill,
Assuming it's stereo, you need a 1/4" stereo phone plug:
https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS843US843&sxsrf=ALeKk03bK2-J8n5tZfGd3RQkkludnBiu8g%3A1586539349910&ei=VauQXraHN6G9ggegsofYCg&q=1%2F4%22+stereo+phone+plug&oq=1%2F4%22+stereo+phone+plug&gs_lcp=CgZwc3ktYWIQAzICCAAyAggAMgYIABAIEB4yBQgAEM0COgQIABBHOgcIIxCwAhAnOgQIABANOgYIABAHEB46CAgAEAgQBxAeOgYIABANEB46CAgAEA0QBRAeSg4IFxIKMTEtMTAxZzE0OUoKCBgSBjExLTVnMlCAP1jFUWCDVGgAcAJ4AIABjwOIAc8KkgEHMC41LjEuMZgBAKABAaoBB2d3cy13aXo&sclient=psy-ab&ved=0ahUKEwj2hf7Sr97oAhWhnuAKHSDZAasQ4dUDCAw&uact=5
Switchcraft makes high quality stuff, but honestly, I've used just about
any available brand (or no-brand) in a couple of my prior lives as a
sound engineer and electronics tech, and virtually anything will work.
I've even used milspec brass plugs to make cables for pro musicians, but
found that they are actually less reliable because the brass tarnishes
while the chromed plugs never do. If you can find one that includes a
rubber strain relief like the molded plugs, that would be great, but you
can achieve a similar effect with a couple of layers of shrink tubing.
You can't assume that color codes are consistent, but here are the
physical connections:
Wiring Diagram 1 4 Stereo Jack - Index Wiring Diagrams
You can find left/right by grabbing a 1.5V battery (C, D, AA or AAA will
work fine) and making/breaking a connection from ground to each wire in
turn, listening for a 'click' sound in the phones. (Do Not use a 9V
battery; the speaker may not survive it.)

Neutrik jacks are fabulous:

Bill,
I have a Bose A20 and was having exactly the same problem. I thought it was
wiring behind my panel or maybe a bad audio panel. Guess what it turned out
to be: the electronics box in the A20's cord does not like to be on the
floor. I suspect vibration upsets it (since I do not yet have carpeting in
my airplane). Once I picked the box up off the floor and either clipped it
to my pant leg or held it in my hand, the problem vanished.
Give it a try before cutting up your A20 cord.

I'm glad you have had good experiences, but I have not. They started out
nice but the cost of repairs increased rather rapidly in the past few
years, from under $200 to over $300. My last set, we went to all the
trouble to create an rma, including me giving them the serial number, only
for them to receive it, then decline to fix it, sending the broken set back
without any repair.

Hi Bob,
It will be a while before I can get the "real" numbers due to severe
weather and the covid-19 shut down.
The published numbers for the EFIS are 2.8 A @12 V each . Total for
both is 5.6A.
The IFD540 published are Main 4.4A Com 6.5A and Nav 0.5A all at
14 volts.. These are peak and I believe an actual would be closer to
5.9A
There is no transmission during start up so I used 1A for the Com.
The total of 11.5 is very close the the number I remember seeing on
the amp meter after the battery
is recharged during flight. I hope this is enough information to
allow you to make a determination as
to which start booster would be required. Thanks.

| Subject: | Minimum ANL size of 35A vs. power feed AWG |
I wanted to protect all my big power wires that go through the firewall so I put
ANL's on all of them.
So for example, I put a 35A ANL on a #8 feed.
The data sheet shows the 35A ANL will basically sustain about 90 amps indefinitely.
I had hoped to set it up so that the ANL would interrupt about at the 2 minute
intermittent max for the wire size. In this case a #8 wire is good for 70 -
90 amps for 2 minutes at 20' run.
Why did I do that? I wanted to make sure that if anything shorted anywhere behind
the firewall, that the ANL would interrupt before the wire insulation melted.
The problem is ANL's only go down to 35A. So for any smaller wire size there
is no ANL that will blow at the 2 minute max for the wire.
You could argue that's a non problem because if you have a dead short the 35A ANL
will blow anyway. On the other hand, if you have a path with some resistance
but still allowing more current than the wire can handle but less than 90
amps, the wire insulation is going to burn.
So right now i have a #6 and some #8's going through my firewall that otherwise
could be much smaller.
What is the right solution to this problem?

My experience with Bose repair wasnt good either. I broke the case of the control
module on my headset. The strain relief had cracked the case and was just
dangling. I called Bose and the best they could do was a $295 overhaul. I protested
that I didnt need an overhaul since everything was working, just a small
plastic case repair that might generously run $50. I talked to the manager
who cut the price a bit but still wouldnt budge on the overhaul. He even told
me that headset was going to obsolete in a few months. That told me I should
save my money a new headset and probably find a different manufacturer.
I wrapped the cord up with electrical tape and it is still working a year plus
later.

The way that many type certificated aircraft are wired (and most home-built)
is with no current limiter at all on the main power bus feeder. If it is not
installed, it can not fail. If the feeder does short to ground, the sheet metal
will burn away, thus removing the short circuit. The best solution is to install
the main bus feeder so that it is very unlikely to short to ground.

!!!DANG!!!
I make a single post on the AeroElectric List...drive to the grocery, put on my
face mask , walk the aisles and look around at all of the empty shelves, leave
the store, take off my mask, and drive home and here are a great deal of very
helpful replies.
Just for fun next trip to the grocery store I will don my Darth Vader costume...complete
with respirator sounds and walk the aisles...heck if I am going to wear
a mask I might as well have fun with it...wonder if they will ask me for ID
when I buy Corona beer???
You guys are great. Have a nice weekend!!!

Neutrik jacks are fabulous:
NP3X for silver/chrome, and NP3X-B for black/gold. The strain relief arrangement
is awesome.

Hi Bill,
Assuming it's stereo, you need a 1/4" stereo phone plug:

Switchcraft makes high quality stuff, but honestly, I've used just about any available
brand (or no-brand) in a couple of my prior lives as a sound engineer
and electronics tech, and virtually anything will work. I've even used milspec
brass plugs to make cables for pro musicians, but found that they are actually
less reliable because the brass tarnishes while the chromed plugs never do.
If you can find one that includes a rubber strain relief like the molded plugs,
that would be great, but you can achieve a similar effect with a couple of layers
of shrink tubing.
You can't assume that color codes are consistent, but here are the physical connections:
You can find left/right by grabbing a 1.5V battery (C, D, AA or AAA will work fine)
and making/breaking a connection from ground to each wire in turn, listening
for a 'click' sound in the phones. (Do Not use a 9V battery; the speaker
may not survive it.)

I can see the logic of that. However, if you abide that logic you probably wouldn't
put any current limiters in your airplane at all, right?
I think the guys that made my Nissan Stanza thought something like that. One
day for no reason that I could find, the electrical system fried itself, burned
through a fender and destroyed the entire wiring harness in the car. Fortunately,
shortly into the episode, someone had the presence of mind to grab one
of the cables connected to the battery and simply pull it off.
Not something I would enjoy doing at 20,000'

My experience with Bose repair wasnt good either. I broke the case of the control
module on my headset. The strain relief had cracked the case and was just
dangling. I called Bose and the best they could do was a $295 overhaul. I protested
that I didnt need an overhaul since everything was working, just a small
plastic case repair that might generously run $50. I talked to the manager
who cut the price a bit but still wouldnt budge on the overhaul. He even told
me that headset was going to obsolete in a few months. That told me I should
save my money a new headset and probably find a different manufacturer.
I wrapped the cord up with electrical tape and it is still working a year plus
later.

Hi Don,
Question... does it matter if the EFIS and Comm reboot during crank?
The IFD 540 installation manual says the screen will dim below 11.5V but it keeps
running down to 9V. I think battery voltage does not fall that far during crank;
maybe 11V or 10V at the least. (Below 9V the IFD 540 it goes into a "60
second power down sequence" but I don't know what that implies for cranking.)

Hi Colyn,
Renogy offers ANLs down to 20A but I don't know the quality. I don't know if they
are a manufacturer or a vendor.
"Mini ANLs": They are slow but they blow faster than ANLs. Bussman calls them AMI
and has them down to 30A. Littlefuse calls them MIDI and has them down to 23A.
I can send you the data sheets if you email me.
With a Z dwg, versus the Nissan Stanza case, the master contactor will disconnect
the battery.
