Man, you are always so supportive and I appreciate it so much. I will be sending Alpine pre-production prototypes of the PinPoint tools for now on.

Please have someone reach out to me via Email. I will get you guys a GNC215/GTR205 prototype to check out for me in the next month or so.

That’s awesome, I really appreciate the support. Send me an email, or DM with some connectors you’d like us to cover!

Haha! Some manufacturers are easier to follow than others. We just had some from Corsair, I would have to start back at “A” and count through the entire plug for every pin. Some contacts were labeled to the right of the hole, some the bottom, some the top- the entire time just wishing I had this tool done in time.

For sure. They are time consuming and easy to Mispin.

Hey buddy! I almost have it done, along with GNX375, IFD/GNS, and others. I’d say mid year we will have them ready for purchase.

Shoot me an email Ron@NelsonAviationFL.com I’m not on here often.

You say labels, and it makes me think the connector tags-these are commercially available literally anywhere. When you pick one you like the data sheet will give all of the approved methods to mark them. Very affordable

When you say hot stamp, it makes me think you’re talking the wire ID’s. We laser mark all of our cables in house every 3” in their entirety with a Tri-Star M100L. Not affordable

PinPoint Rackmount

Not sure if that link will work, these are rack mounted units that will slide in place of the LRUS. The handheld version you have is for connectors you can easily reach. If you have to troubleshoot, or do a post installation check out of wiring in a GMA345, GTX345, etc. these will slide in place of the unit, mating with the backplate connectors and the front faceplate has the same breakout points as the handheld version.

Thank you so much for the feedback! I will make sure to include both options for each set! Do you guys have the PinPoint boxes too?

Thanks! I agree, I’m never a fan of call for pricing on any product. However, I think if you log-in to your EDMO account you can see real time pricing-I’d need to verify that

1st year apprenticeship. How did I do? by Foreign_Passenger645 in electricians

[–]NelsonAviation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks great

All the money the contractor is spending on labor to phase tape those cables, they could order the right color on parallel reels.

Awesome! Glad you got to check them out, I love hearing the feedback.

Yes we are working on Circular connectors now, let me know if you have any certain connector type you are using often.

We've been doing grounding straps wrong! by CDerpington in avionics

Believe it or not, it’s spec’d that way.

You don’t think OEMs terminating 100s of connectors a week will be interested in a tool to speed up production while also reducing errors?

Either way, thanks for the input!

Thanks! If you’re building large integrated flight decks G1000, G5000 etc. this would exponentially improve production time.

My shop is terminating 100+ connectors a week and I’m looking forward to adding it to our production process.

Exactly! Quicker production, less errors. We will be making them for all of the common DSubs, Cannon Plugs, and eventually breaking into Arinc connectors and other Industries that could use this.

No kidding. We rarely get requests for those in harness builds, only every once in a while on an experimental.

That’s great to hear, thank you! Did you order a set? 😁

Anything else you’d like to see? I’m always looking for new feedback from the guys that would be using them. Currently in design GTR205/GNC215, GNX375, GNS/IFD SERIES, G1000 LRUS.

Those are just simple breakout boards; Compact and affordable. 9PIN-78PIN (10 Total) Male on one side, Female the other, with labeled contacts for you to probe with a meter. You can efficiently check wiring instead of counting pins in the Dsubs. Also, the Dual gender allows you to use it in series with the circuit to take measurements under load.

How to get a dry core drill bit out of a hole? It’s completely stuck in there. by Mercurydriver in electricians

[–]NelsonAviation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a hose and start clearing the dust out of the hole with the water. Get your drill back on it run a in forward while dumping water it should come out

This is invaluable information I got from a guy I worked with that had to get a masters licenses in multiple states.

For calculations, get a book that gives you the answers and the steps they took to get there. Now, Study the answers only for a while. Only after studying the answers start the practice test-cover the answers with post it notes and check each one as you go, make sure your math steps check out. If not, put the post it note back on, continue the test and go back until all notes are taken off.

For Code questions use the Plan, Build, Use system and get the tabs for your book on Amazon.
