Hi Jim,
Although I have an elegant solution, no one has stepped up to try one yet;
Try and imagine a 15pin fuselage/center panel connector that is
plug-and-play (PnP) that is similar (in form-factor) to the recognized
DB-style in use now, but is less than half the size (micro-D). This
particular high-reliability connector system is used in aerospace
applications where failure is simply not an option.
Space-grade lead material (pigtails) are integral to the pin/spring
contacts and are back-potted (the electrical leads come as part of the
connector system). With 3A current handling (fom -55C to +150C,
24awg/gold contact and very high cyclic-ability), this miniature system
is loafing at it's job in our applications. The major benefit is they
are a no-brainer to fit into the physical constraints of the pod.
However they double the cost of a typical high-performance harness
similar to what I normally build for competition purposes.
As far as the center panel to tip panel connection, I still employ the
exceedingly reliable KK series connector system.
Of course, everything is plug-and-play.
regards
