Avionics Bending - Prep Part 2: Fuel System Panel

Still on the Fuel System panel for the Lockheed L-1011 project. In this posting, we will attach an 8pin wire-to-board connector to each switch. There are three different types of switches:

1. Switches with two horizontal fields
2. Switches with two vertical fields
3. Switches with one single field

The Fuel System panel features all 3 of the above.



Here is the pin-out for a switch with two horizontal fields:

Connector Pin 1 ---> Switch Cable 1 (LED 1) Top Field Left
Connector Pin 2 ---> Switch Cable 2 (LED 2) Top Field Right
Connector Pin 3 ---> Switch Cable 3 (LED 3) Bottom Field Left
Connector Pin 4 ---> Switch Cable 4 (LED 4) Bottom Field Right
Connector Pin 5 ---> Switch Cable C (Command Anode)
Connector Pin 6 ---> Switch Cable 10 (Switch Unlatched)
Connector Pin 7 ---> Switch Cable 11 (Switch Latched)
Connector Pin 8 ---> Switch Cable 9 (GND)

Now that all the cables have a connector and the cables are tied together, the madness from the last posting is gone. This is a step that every of the L-1011 panels will go through.
