I am going to a 911 dash and saw awhile back a members picture where they used multi pin connectors to simplify things and i really like the idea and want to implement it myself in my conversion and other spots like the turn signal buckets. I have looked on digi-key but quickly get lost in the lingo used in their catalog since i am not super familiar with the electrical side of things. Can someone please help me out with this one. will need the male and matching female connectors along with the proper type of male and female terminals used that are soldered to the wires.
thanks in advance!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Attached image(s)

Crimping and soldering is a great way to go if you know how to solder correctly. If corrosion is a worry, use dielectric grease.
When soldering, there is a fine balance of heat and flow. Too much heat and the wire insulation melts. A high heat iron and short working time is recommended. Make sure you don't get too much solder on the connection or it may impact the locking tab on the connector. I soldered every connection on my conversion. No problems and the crimp will never come loose. BTW, I went to soldering school in the Marine Corps. 2 long weeks of soldering 8 hours per day. Fun... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Combat soldering! Seriously, I took a series of electronic tech classes at College of San Mateo back in the 80s, and we did a few weeks just on soldering. The instructor had been through the NASA soldering school, and it was actually rather interesting. But not for 8 hrs a day! |
