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.

These are well  made pieces of equipment and are usually only used by professionals.  they  are ratchet crimpers that give a consistent crimp to every connection.   

  

 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.

Are you familliar with Bob Nuckolls? 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.  Mesa, AZ http://www.aeroelectric.com/seminars/seminars.html
