Hi everyone,
I've got a number of d-sub connectors throughout the airplane, and in a few locations it's going to be difficult or impossible to put the protective shell around the connector due to obstructions on the back side. (Dynon EFIS connector interfering with subpanel wall is the most obvious problem area)
I plan to tie-wrap the wires close to the connector to keep them from vibrating individually, and find some sort of lockwasher + screw to keep the connector together. Maybe a tiny split washer? Might put some threadlock on it too.
Does anyone have any concerns or recommendations?
Thanks,
Paul
