Unlike my Icom radio harness connector, which uses a crimped molex pins, my Flightcom 403 appears to require that the wires be connected to the Dsub connector by soldering them. Soldering and (especially) fabricating wire harnesses are new skills I'm learning. Thus...
Are there any keys to doing this or is it just a matter of holding the wire to the appropriate Dsub pin on the connector and soldering away? Other than making sure I have good strain relief by using the clamp provided with the connector, any other things or techniques I should to keep in mind? Regular 60/40 rosin solder OK I assume?
The connector itself looks pretty simple. If I mess it up will it be pretty easy to find a replacement locally at Radio Shack or something?
Thanks for any general suggestions.
