Posted: Sun Jun 07, 2015 4:59 pm Post subject: D-Sub connector use

My left wing contains my Dynon ADAHRS module, which is normally connected to the Skyview Network using a D-Sub 9 connector. The wing also has an Aveo LED light that has 4 wires (nav power, strobe power, ground, snynchronization). The nav light draws 0.6 amps and the strobe draws 3.2 amps (peak).



Wire sizes are 22 gauge for the ADAHRS and strobe sync wire, and 20 gauge for the strobe power, nav power and ground.



I want a connector at the wing root to facilitate wing folding (or removal). Can I use a D-Sub 15 connector for this purpose. I hope so because I already spent the day completing it.

   The D-sub is rated for the voltages and

   currents in your application . . . and

   the lowly d-connectors have cousins qualified

   for space travel . . . but they're still

   a 'non-environmental' connector. This

   means that while they are electrically

   capable by virtue of the pins and sockets,

   they are vulnerable to the effects of moisture,

   dust, mud, oil, etc.



   It's a low-risk experiment. There are

   no hazards to airframe or crew associated

   with loss of function . . . and there's

   a high probability of long and satisfactory

   service. But be aware and keep an eye on it.

Thanks Bob. I think the location will be dry.

Ken,

  

 Even though they are non-environmentally secure, you can do a little to  ward off effects of the environment. 1 use good contact pins (gold plated   I use AMP) 2. before mating the connectors give them a goober of dielectric  grease. This is available through many outlets, probably auto stores, as it is  the grease type material that you see on some of the connectors in a car. This  stuff keeps out moisture and O2 even though the gold contacts aren't supposed to  oxidize. If you use any plug affairs that are not gold-- this stuff is a must  (IMNSHO)
