[QUOTE="Matt Vivlamore, post: 10649, member: 33"] I've got this small project and I want to I want try and build a 12 ch multi pin disconnect snake for my RF rack. I am planning on using the CPC connectors, they are inexpensive and been around forever. I’m not going touring or letting minimal wage Joe touch the connection. Am I going down the right track? Connector: 206151-2: Standard Circular Connector RECEPTACLE 37 PIN free hanging s.s. 23 206150-1: Standard Circular Connector PLUG 37 POSITION shell size 23 Contact Pins: I see they offer Crimp and Solder style. With the Crimp tool being $215, will there be any issues soldering the pin/socket and pushing them into the plug? I’m planning to build just 2-3 complete connections (4-6 multi pins). Extraction Tool: 305183 Solder: Pin: 66182-1 Socket: 66183-1 Crimp: Pin: 66591 Socket: 66592 Crimp Tool: 58495-1 ($215) Back shells: 206138-1 – Standard 207774-1 – Self Centering Add Heat Shrink on the each of the ground/exposed/drain wires. I’ve got a EWI snake that I can hack. I know the project is time consuming. I've got help; my dad is retired Navy and was once a Maintenance Master Chief and has rebuilt a few of these connectors for the helicopters. [/QUOTE]
