What are people doing for splicing the power and ground wires for the Garmin GTN 650?
3 18 gauge wires are spliced into 1 pin - I'm going to do the slice outside the backshell obviously, but what method is preferred here? I'd like to go with a crimped connection like a butt splice, but am concerned about strain relief.
I did solder the CAN connections for the G3X system. These were really the only signal splices that were necessary (well, and a few unswitched audio signals in the audio panel). I'm considering re-doing these because they look like **** and just don't trust my soldering skills next to a quality crimp job.
What is the saying, the bigger the glob the better the job? At least that's how my soldering turned out after many attempts.
If anyone has experience or can post a photo of what they did, I would appreciate it.
Coming close to finishing up the wiring, but sure will be glad when it's over.
Thanks
Chris
