Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Proposed PSUBS standard bulkhead connector

[Jon Wallace <jonw@psubs.org>]

Can I make a suggestion...Subconn offered to send us a sample connector 
so we could appraise it for our needs. It might be easier if we take 
them up on that offer and have them ship Alec the sample so he can 
analyze what is needed for transition pieces and also recommend a wiring 
pattern. Both the Tyco and Subconn connectors have numbers associated 
with the pin holes already, so it's just a matter of picking which color 
wire to perform a specific function. This way he has a prototype to work 
with and can resolve any issues that might come up. He can work with Al 
in the background and we can hound both of them for updates via this 
mailing list. Alec could even create a new web site project and upload 
photos so we could follow along. If this is a good idea, I'll send an 
email to Subconn and have them ship one to you Alec.


Here are a couple links I found for the Tyco adapter Al is talking about.

Perhaps someone could take a moment and explain how all this stuff is 
suppose to fit together? From the discussion thusfar, I've got a picture of:

Inside Sub
OTS-Hardware <-> Tyco-A1351-ND <-> Subconn BH4F ->SUBHULL

Outside Sub
SUBHULL<- Subconn IL4M <-> Tyco-A1351-ND <-> OTS-Hardware
