KR> EIS Thermocouple Wiring
I've done alot of wiring of small pins for the lighting system on a friends plane and found that the best thing is always to solder the pin connections no matter how good you think the crimp is. With a good iron it takes only moments to do and will keep the wires in place. If you are using a DB25 connector (looks like a computer cable) those come as a unit which you solder together and then screw on the strain relief w/o crimping.

If the thermocouples are like the ones from Westach, with the little male pin on the end. Get some of the female pins and make you a connector with whatever size wire you like and run that wire into the 25-pin connector. Westach can supply the female pin ends. This is very easy to do.

I cant guarantee it, but it would be something I would try. I assume the EGT wire will not solder? -- Glenn Martin, KR2 N1333A Biloxi, MS

How can I get the CHT and EGT wires crimped to the 25-pin connector pin for the GRT EIS 4000? I have the 4-point ratchet crimper for these pins. The hard thermocouple wires (Iron and Constantine?) apparently will not deform enough to get a reliable crimp. The crimped pin falls off with the slightest wiggle, much less a NASA pull test. Copper wire crimping works every. GRT tech support are no help. Sid Wood Tri-gear KR-2 N6242 Mechanicsville, MD, USA smw...@md.metrocast.net
