I am working on my wiring, and I am an infant on this topic. I have resolved to use sealed connectors inside the stub wings to hook things up rather than run long wires after install of the wing outer panels or to use butt connectors on every wire - I have 14 wires, one BNC connector, two 3/8" fuel lines, and three 1/8" air lines all to connect while working through an inspection cover - I am using multi wire connectors here.
The Deutsch and Delco connectors that seal on the wires and then seal the joints do not have provision for strain relief of the wires leaving the connectors. I am so used to seeing strain relief on D-Sub connectors and the like, that I was expecting strain relief here.
Is it durable and sturdy using the connectors as is? The bundles are supported with Adel clamps on both ends of the junction area, the connectors will be staggered and clipped to mounting points. Are there other precautions that should be taken here?
