HDP26-24-47PE cable plug pin contacts $29.05

Two such kits gives 10 size 16 connections and 84 size 20 connections - cost = $220.32

Enough connection to absorb all the headset connections with space

Compare with 63 way TE CPC Series 2 connector - which is only good for 20 and 22 AWG, accompanied by 8 way size 16 DT panel mount Deutsche (for the landing taxi lights) ($34.24) and 12 way size 18 DTM panel mount Deutsche ($54.47)(for the nav and strobe lights)

The headset connections are assumed to be included in the following connector

Alternative multipole connector (element 14 prices, including GST)

The following TC CPC Series 2 componentry is relevant

Standard

• TE 205843-1 size 23, 63-way square flange receptacle - pins $25.22 1.75" on a side
• TE 205842-1 size 23, 63-way square flange plug - sockets $24.38

Reverse sex

• TE 206438-1 size 23, 57-way square flange receptacle - sockets $21.11
• TE 206437-1 size 23, 57-way square flange plug - pins $21.67

The "reverse sex" connectors (the panel mounted connectors are sockets) would match the arrangement of the panel mount DT and DTM connectors

63 of the following are needed

• TE 205089-1 size 20 DM pins $1.40 (25-up) = $88.20
• TE 205090-1 size 20 DM sockets $1.94 (1-up) = $122.20

Total cost $88.20 + $122.20 + $25.22 + $24.38 + $34.24 + $54.47 = $348.82 (incl GST)

Conclusion:

The Deutsche HDP20 kits are more versatile and build a cheaper interconnect system
