What you are looking for are Molex connectors. Even Radio Shack has them.

John,

  What you need is a feed-thru disconnect.  One end would flange mount to the fuselage end of the wing root and the other end would disconnect at the wing end rib.  Check this site:

hi list

i have finished the wings and am wondering the best

way to connect the wires in the wing to the wires that

go into the fuse. i want to use some sort of quick

disconnect for every wire, but am not sure what they

are called and if there are multi-wire connectors that

would allow me to use just one connector for everthing

in each wing. [quote][b]

John,



I didn't go with wing trim, but for the elevator trim cable bundle, I used a 9 pin DSUB connector.  For the tail light, I used a knife connector, which I will protect with heat-shrink tubing when I install the tail.  I will do the same for the fuel sender wires from the wings.  I know there a lot of other wires from the wings, but I installed terminal blocks behind the seat backs, one for each side. These blocks are already wired to the power sources. I will terminate each wire from the wings with ring terminals and screw to the appropriate places on the terminal blocks. I felt that this was simpler than trying to find plugs that would handle the required current.

seems a little redundant to have five seperate

connections.



any ideas would be nice.  i will likely never take the

wings off after i truck the machine to a test area,

but you never know.

Here's what I used:

These are available at Radio Shack in various sizes. They are commonly 

called Molex connectors although Radio Shack apparently doesn't call 

these by that name.



The nylon shell comes with tabs that allow it to be snapped into 

position in a bulkhead so a cable can be plugged into it.



Most of the connectors are designed for up to eight Amp circuits but the 

two pin connectors also come with terminals sized for 20 Amp circuits.
