I'm sort of at a standstill on these connectors. I have access to a large quantity.
They are not run of the mill amphenol. These are removed from civilian grade jet aircraft.
The pins should pop out the back, but I don't know what the tool looks like...and given that they are french, I'd rather not even try. Usually it's a piece of tubing with a sliding pin on the inside.
If these were amphenol, I'd want to save the case, as it's usually valuable for resale. Given that they are not, the used resale rate just isn't worthwhile. So in this case, I just want the gold plated copper.
Pins are small, approximately .03-.04" in diameter, and given that they are actually from aircraft, I'd expect a reasonably thick plating.
In one post, GSP mentions a V shaped hydraulic shear that he used to process them. I am considering parting in the lathe, but I'll have to open a couple to see where the part needs to occur.
