I  am doing the firewall forward connections on my Lancair 360. I want 

an easy "cannon plug" style firewall connector for all the wiring that 

goes from the engine to the engine monitor (about 15 wires) and another 

connector for anything and everything else that has to pass through the 

firewall. Digikey has an amazing  number of choices. If anyone has 

already done this and has a part number of what you used for the 

connector would you mind passing it along? I have spent hours looking 

through the catalog and I'm still not sure what the best connector for 

this application is.



Thanks



Doug

I have three of these on my firewall.



One two-pin for a battery hawk.



The other two are larger and allow me to disconnect the engine from the firewall with a single connector - the other of the two is for the manifold of sensors.  I did not put a firewall disconnect for my thermocouples.



I used quarter turn bayonet style - and have already reaped the benefits of my decision.



I have the part numbers at the hangar - I'll try to dig up some pictures too.



Don't remember if I got them from Digi-key or Allied - but it doesn't matter...both vendors carry the line.
