Hi,
N19WT came with spade-lugs which I hate. The problem is I need to finish up the wing wiring:
It came with the wing wiring loosely in heat shrink that had never been shrunk and spade lugs. No color code and some random masking tape labels.
What I'm planning is locking, polarized connector for the wires with a socket for the fuselage side. But when I check various aviation standards, certainly for transport aviation, they pretty much talk about MIL standard connectors.
The MIL style connectors are very expensive and bulky. The Molex Saber connectors are affordable and come in kits. They may be the approach I use from the circuit breaker field to instrument panel. The TE style circular connectors are also reasonable, keyed, and positive locking. However, they are bulkier than the Molex.
So I was wondering:

So I was wondering:
- Anyone use Molex connectors in their plane (aka., Saber kit?)
- Anyone use the TE style connectors (circular plastic from Allied?
