Using OEM Connectors, Pins and Crimping

[farrokh747]

G'day

Here's a quick reckoner on the tools I use to build harnesses for my OEM panels, to connect them to my Simstack I/O cards

This is a basic guide, if you spot any inaccuracies, please post on this thread and I'll update it

Thanks Farrokh !

Usefull guide !

Just to avoid that after a few years cockpit-building will change to cockpit-repairing.

Greetings to Edoardo ; we both started the 767-300 (and he continued)
Many years ago I made some triple (ADF) rotaries for him.
All before he intensively started collecting -only-original-parts.

In addition, I'm including in this list, the pins required for the back of the Korry
switches and indicators – there are slightly different from the panel pins in that
they are "rear release" – the removal tools listed earlier will not work here, but I've
been able to unlock/release them using the insertion tools I have

Have a fire extinguisher handy, guys

Basic knowledge and safety for electrical work is assumed....   a search for Standard Wiring Practices will show up more info..  Aircraft Wiring is a universe to itself, and probably takes a lifetime to master....   I'm just skimming the surface here...  You an easily fry your panel by sending 28v down the wrong pin.... or worse, cause injury to yourself and others.

This guide was more for identifying some of the tools required from the rather dizzying array of part numbers for each item, rather than a wiring manual, for which I am definitely not qualified...
