2.7 Molex Crimp Terminals
The Molex connector contacts should be wired with wire of AWG 18 to AWG 24. The
contacts are compatible with a wide range of crimp tools. Ensure that the contact has
been crimped using both the conductor crimp and the insulator crimp. Refer to Figure
2-5.
Figure 2-5. Molex Crimp Terminals
Once crimped, the contacts should be inserted into the rear of the connector shell.
Push the contact in until the retaining tab clicks into place. Tug gently to confirm the
contact is locked in place.
The contacts can be easily removed using the Molex removal tool, or equivalent. This
is pushed gently into the connector shell from the side opposite from the wire entry,
and lifts the retaining tab from the stop, allowing the contact to be eased out by
pulling on the wire.
2.8 Antenna Installation
The antenna should be installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
The following considerations should be taken into account when locating the antenna.
The antenna should be well removed from any projections, the engine(s)
and propeller(s). It should also be well removed from landing gear doors,
access doors or others openings which will break the ground plane for the
antenna.
The antenna should be mounted on the bottom surface of the aircraft and in
a vertical position when the aircraft is in level flight.
Avoid mounting the antenna within 3 feet (91.4 cm) of the ADF sense
antenna or any COMM antenna and 6 feet (182.9 cm) from the transponder
to the DME antenna.
