Jul 16, 2023     Avionics and Electrical - (5 hours)       Category: Avionics
Worked on the dimmer harness today. Tried to use the 2x2 pin molex Micro-Fit 3.0 connectors that I had modified and realized while they barely fit through the instrument panel hole in one direction they didn't work so well in the other direction and wouldn't fit through the washer and nut. Decided to use the 3 pin one row connector and only install the connector housing after the dimmer potentiometer is installed in the panel.

Added connector connection and part number detail to the schematic now that I decided what parts to use. Cut wires for the pigtails on the potentiometers.

Struggled with crimping the pins and sockets and inserting pins and sockets into the housings. Finally figured it out after using some practice parts.

Soldered wires on the three potentiometers and crimped pins on the wires. Installed the three potentiometers in the panel and inserted pins into the housings.
