Jun 15, 2022 2 re-pinned audio panel connector Category: Avionics
I decided I couldn't live with the idea of only having 1 hi density pin providing power to the audio panel when the install manual calls for two. Yeah, I know. Like I said in a previous entry 1 pin is rated for 3 amps, and this whole thing is on a 3 amp breaker and only pulls about 2.5 assuming you've got a charger plugged in to teh USB port on the front.

But I started thinking; what happens if I upgrade to a new sooper-dooper box at some point in the future and that box expects to see power on both pins?

Probably a far fetched scenario, but still. I ordered a new Hi dens connector from stein. It only cost about $12, which isn't much for my peace of mind. R&R all the pins from the old one, repinned the one power wire I goofed up, and reinstalled everything. Ops checked good and even though it's a pain to get all those hi-dens pens out, it's way easier now than it would be during a "what if" after this whole thing is buttoned up.
