Installing a Yellow Precision TC Connector onto a TC Wire:
The Yellow Precision TC Connector is used on OAT and Carb Temp probes. This connector is easy to
install and does not require any special tools.
A. Split the thermocouple wires back 3". Be careful not to knick the individual wires.
B. Remove the yellow cap on the Precision Connector.
C. Strip back the wire insulation 1/2".
D. Connect the yellow lead of the TC Extension Cable to the terminal marked “+” and the red lead to
the other terminal. The insulation on these wires should almost touch the mounting screws. Replace
the yellow cap on the Yellow Precision Connector. Be careful not to overtighten any screws or
twist the wires when installing the connector.

D-sub pins are used in D-sub connectors found on the EDC and the MVP. Most of these pins have
already been installed on the appropriate wires and inserted into the proper connector. To install a D-sub
pin requires a D-sub crimp tool. Most electronic stores carry a reasonably priced D-sub crimp tool. This
tool will work for installing D-sub pins onto tin copper wire but it may not make good crimps on 24 ga.
thermocouple wire. A pull test can be performed to test the crimp. A ratcheting crimp tool from Tyco
(P/N: 91503-1) will crimp both TC and Tin Copper Wire. All crimps must pass a 3 to 4 pound pull test
to be considered reliable.
To install a D-sub pin onto a 20 ga. Tin Copper Wire, perform the following steps:
A. Strip the insulation back 1/8.” Be careful not to knick the wire.
B. Insert the pin into the 24 ga. D-sub Pin Crimper. The crimpers
have two cavities; the smaller one is used to crimp the bare wire
and the slightly larger one is used to crimp around the insulation.
Check that the pin is inserted into the crimpers properly. Also, the
ears on the pin must be facing into the center of the crimp tool
cavity to produce a good crimp. If the pin rotates even a little
during crimping, the connection will be unreliable.
