They also have pins and sockets (66569-3 and 66570-3) for this connector
which
are soldered not crimped. Did you consider using them?<
Yes, I used the solder pins. Just be careful the solder does not wick too
far up the wire. How did you decide to secure your connector to the firewall?<
The connector has four corner tabs for bolting the connector to the
firewall. The picture in the LNN is not that great but you can see three
of the screws amd tabs if you look closely.
From your picture in LNN, it looks like you have some sort of strain
relief
device in the cable clamp. Is this also an AMP part and did you use it on
both
sides of the firewall?<
The strain relief firewall forward is just a piece of vinyl flexable tubing from the hardware store. For the cabin side of the firewall the
50+ conductors make a 90 degree turn and are secured about two inches from
the connector with a clamp attached to the aft firewall. All the Vision
Micro and other low current wires went through this connector with good
results.
