(Matt Dralle) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 07:19:28 AM PST US From: James Beeghly Subject: Avionics-List: Crimping tool question - finding a Molex 6115 Series crimper We are installing a Bendix-King KY97 radio. It uses a Molex connector on the back of the card which, in turn, uses Bendix-King Part number 030-01107-00XX pins. The manual indicates that these should be crimped with a Molex Series 6115 crimper. At the Molex site, entering 6115 leads to the 11-01-0203 crimper. As far as I can find, this is a $200.00 tool. Does anyone know if there is an alternative tool available that will make acceptable crimps and is not quite so pricey? So far I have not found a used 6115 for sale. Jim Beeghly

I would advise you to have an avionics shop to make up the cables for you. You can spend time making interconnect diagrams with the lengths of each cable marked so they will fit where you want them. If there is anything wrong with the interconnect diagram as you have it drawn up the avionics shop will be able to advise you on revisions before one crimp is made or a piece of expensive equipment is damaged. Five or ten years down the road you will have an accurate diagram of exactly how your avionics were installed. this is very handy if you want to make future upgrades or changes. I expect having the job done by an avionics shop won't cost you any more than the crimper and the job will be warranted. If you are the local electronics whiz then get the crimper and make everyone's cables to pay for it. There is a lot more to doing this type of work than making a few crimps.

His site is the Aeroelectric Connection and he is a wizzard in this arena. If anyone would know the answer to your question, he would. Go to his site, e-mail him and he will get back...it may take a week as he is very busy. Hope this helps. Dan B.

I was able to finally get them to lift the block about 3pm PST 10/29/2006 and it appears that people on Comcast are receiving List messages again. If you are a Comcast user, you might want to email them and express your displeasure with their Spam blocking policy, particularly as it relates to "matronics.com". Sorry for the hassle...
