Where to get AIS connectors
http://www.cooperindustries.com/cont.../aisseries.pdf
Anyone know where to get these? There are a couple on my cherokee, and they are very nice. I just can't find any kind of source for them!

D sub?
Are you trying to connect higher amperage, or just a few amps. If just a few perhaps you could use male and female D sub pins with heat shrink over them. Looks like about the same thing, but without the locking plastic cover. Just a thought.

That or knife splices... I specifically want the ais connectors for tight spots like my pitot heat wiring where you're working inside a tight access panel. Having to deal with heat shrink in a spot like that is rough... Those connector housings are very positive but they are also easy to unlock and open with one hand.

Contact mfr for nearest distributor.
For 0-3 Amps I would use dsubs. 3-12 Amps Molex. 12-30 Amps Spade or Ring Term, above 30 Amps use Ring term to match wire size.
Those are nice but also heavy compared to say a butt splice or molex conn.
Most of my elect from SteinAir.

I used a two pin molex for my pitot wires. Two fingers squeeze and apart it comes. I also left some extra wire in case I had conn problems later. Then I will just butt splice it.
Hey, that is the great thing about EAB.

The Cooper Interconnect AIS conectors are nice weather-proof ones and are good for 13 Amps.
I think they are for heavier wire than the usual D-Sub pins.
I can't find out where to buy them though...

In Tucson it goes to the usual electrical (big stuff - 120v and higher) supply houses. Probably good if you want 2 gauge lugs though...
I'll call tomorrow and check though...

it looks like I'll be able to get some through a friend. They're remarkably expensive to try to buy in onesy-twoseys.
