I need break an auto pilot servo wiring harness and reconnect using  

male/female d-sub connectors and am looking for appropriate shells to  

join together.



Any guidance would be appreciated.



Thanks

Try Digikey.  I bought some from them recently.  Fast service.

   Here's a low cost, "compact" solution that's been used on

   Ray-Allen trim actuators for a number of years.

   You can get the solder connectors depicted in the comic

   book from Radio Shack . . .



http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId 102866



http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId 102498



    If you have access to the machined crimps pins separately,

    they can be used with locally acquired housings  . . .



http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId 103806



http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId 103805



   Shells for the crimped on connectors are

   If you don't need the miniaturized connectors depicted in

   the comic book, you can leave the connectors un-modified

   and use the same shells on that process as well.



   I don't recommend using open barrel crimp pins supplied by

   Radio Shack. They're okay if you're skilled in the use of the

   right tool to assemble them but I personally avoid them in

   favor of machined pins and assembly processed described in

   these pictures . . .

   using this (or an equivalent) tool . . .



http://aeroelectric.com/Pictures/Tools/Crimp_Tools/rct-3.jpg



   I can supply a kit of shells, connectors and 20AWG crimp pins

   for $14.00 plus first class mail of about $1.50.



   If you want the kit, put an order in at . . .



https://matronics.com/aeroelectric/Catalog/AECcatalog.html



   and enter "Mated pair D9 Connectors, pins and hoods (at) 14.00"

   in the comments box at bottom of the page.



   Finally, there are multiple sources for suitable materials

   and tools cited by others in this thread.

Two more notes:

The adhesive mentioned in Bob's comic strip I found as "Goop" "Contact 

Adhesive and Sealant" in Home Depot/Lowes.  It's not really a contact 

adhesive as I know it but it's the same stuff Bob refers to.  Perfect 

adhesive for this kind of encapsulation and a nice addition to the 

adhesive shelf.



If you take the machined pin D-sub approach, you may find the crimping 

process works best if you double over the #24/26 wires used on the the 

MAC servos.  They are really thin wires.  Bob led me to the doubling 

over solution some months back.  Seems to make the crimp more reliable.



Thanks again Bob.
