Mfg. Q&A

  • What is the max amps for this plug? 1500 amps peak, 240 amps continuous.
  • What is the largest wire size that will fit the plug terminal connections? Wire reservoir in contact is 0.474” ID, so 2/0 AWG stranded copper wire is largest.
  • How are the wires secured to the contacts? Crimp? Solder? Wires are torch-soldered to the contacts. Recommend a chef’s torch.
  • Does this power plug fit the Cessna 177B Cardinal’s external 3-pin external power part? Yes, this plug will fit the external power receptacle on most late model Cessna aircraft.
  • So you must solder your heavy gauge cables in to this unit for connection to the
  • power source? Yes, the 3-pin plug (11-03158) uses solder type joints. Too large to crimp. Requires a chef’s torch (or similar) to heat the solder well before inserting the cable.
  • Do you have instructions for installing this plug onto cable? Yes, we have added the install instructions for this plug to the 'Documents' tab of the web page. Please review them there.
