Hi All,



who will be able to tell me what is the type of this connector? I found it in a switch coming from a military aircraft. In order to give a new life to the switch, I need to buy some pins....but I know nothing about it.



Thank you for your help



Overtorque.

Wasn't able to get any of the images to load to see what you are referring to.

Tried going directly to the site too with no joy.



If it came from a military aircraft, there's a milspec for it and you should be able to get replacements using the milspec number.....the trick then is determining what the milspec is.....

Good Afternoon Overtorque,

  

 I thought I would have an answer for you. 

  

 It looks very much like the pins used by Beechcraft to feed the ground and  power to their wedge type internal instrument lights.  They are on the ends  which plug into group receptacles on the back of the panel.

  

 I have some somewhere, but can't find them or the Beech part number. Been  trying for the last hour or so. 

  

 The bad thing is that they cost about ten bucks apiece when purchased from  Beechcraft. If I find the ones I have or can locate the Beech Part Number, I  will post it here. Meanwhile, maybe this will jog someone else's memory.

  

 'Lectric Bob, do you remember them during your time at Beech?

  

 Happy Skies,

  

 Old Bob

   A number of high-end manufacturers of switches

   (and relays, etc) are offering very robust,

   environmentally sealed devices that are

   electrically terminated IWTS (integrated wire

   termination system) by means of built-in sockets

   having female pins. 



   The idea is not new. Patent 3717838 was issued

   in 1973 on this topic. There are no doubt earlier

   documents.



   An exemplar product line is illustrated starting

   on page A27 of



  http://tinyurl.com/ya22ub8 

   

   I did a search of IWTS in this pdf file and found

   a couple of switch lines offering that feature.



   I believe there are probably few sizes and styles

   of pins used across these product lines . . . but

   pins, extraction tools and installation tools are

   unique to the pins. I've not personally put my

   hands on any of these but we used a goodly number

   at Hawker-Beech.



   I didn't see any references to mating pin numbers

   in the EATON catalog. I did see a reference to M39029/1-101

   pins for 20AWG wire for THAT particular part. You'll

   need to check your existing pins against the dimensions

   of similar pins (OR) get the part number of  your

   switch and see what its catalog listing calls out

   for the mating pin.



   These wont be easy to find in small quantities but

   if you identify a part number, you can try

   Aircraft and Commercial Enterprises in Derby

   KS. They might have and be willing to supply you

   a small quantity of pins.



 



 

        Bob . . .

Hi all,



Thank you very much for these input.... I made myself the extraction tool. I have to leave for the WE. Monday, I will take accurate size of the connector and the brand (if I can find it) of the switch.



I wish a nice nice WE to all
