 The connector is an 18 position, double row, with .156" spacing. I'll try to attach a picture below. Looks more like an AMP part than Molex, but for testing purposes I suppose it  does not matter. Since I don't want to spend money on special crimpers and insertion/extraction tools, I suppose I would benefit from a type I can solder on to. If you know off hand of a suitable part number, I'll give it a try.



 Would it be OK to power up the KX165 without connecting anything to the Nav section?

   Take a look at the wire entry side of the connector at

   the ends and compare with page 2 of



  http://aeroelectric.com/Mfgr_Data/Connectors/Molex_Waldom/SD4338.pdf 



   see if they're not marked as "MOLEX" on one end and "4338"

   on the other.



   If this is the Molex part, you're looking for a  09-50-6155 (no

   mounting ears) or a 09-50-5155 (with mounting ears). The mating

   pins are what ever you can find in stock of the parts

   described here:

   Found some stock at:



  http://www.dfsales.com/mark/displayresults2.asp?PARTNUMBER=09-50-6155 



  http://www.dfsales.com/mark/displayresults2.asp?PARTNUMBER=09-50-5155 



  http://www.dfsales.com/mark/displayresults2.asp?PARTNUMBER=08-03-0304 



   You can put these on with the low cost b-crimp tool from B&C at

   http://bandc.biz  Look for their BCT-1. If you're artful with

   a needle nose and soldering iron, you can put the pins on without

   a tool. However, this tool works with the mate-n-locks, a variety

   of Molex products, and the sheet metal d-sub pins. It wouldn't

   hurt to have one in your toolbox.



   This tool will put the pins on too . . .

Bob, you're wonderful, mission accomplished. Based on your info and document links, I was able to verify that it is a Molex part number 09-50-6155. 

It took me 5 minutes of looking to verify the possibility of numbers on the ends of the connector. Then I had to get my young daughter with perfect vision to be able to read the numbers, which turned out to be the actual part number instead of the 4338 number. First time I ever had to do that!

Your vendor links are incredibly helpful, also. Thanks.



PS- Is it Ok to power up the nav/com without terminating the G/S and Nav antenna connections?

   Without benefit of having schematics to look at, I cannot

   be 100.0% sure but it's pretty likely that no harm

   will occur. After all, connectors DO come loose in

   service and I would hope that the fine minds under

   Ed King's legacy would have thought of that and

   accounted for it.
