Swapping Servo Connectors
I am currently in the process of swapping out some old G-style connectors on some "vintage" Futaba FP-S38 Servos. I "think" my best bet to cover the solder joints would be to use some good-ol shrink wrap tubing....on a very low heat setting of course, so as not to melt my cables. (Don't laugh, but have done this before YEARS ago on some very small microphones I was adaptiong for performers []) Any other suggestions, tips, ect would be greatly appreceated as I have never done this type of adaptation in this specific application...i.e. servos in an airplane subject to who knows what (newbie). Also, the wire gauge on my new J plugs is a heavier 22AWG....thought this might help too for sturdier signal carrying?? Opinions anyone?? [&:]
Thanx in advance

RE: Swapping Servo Connectors
I've done it and it works fine. The shrink wrap is perfect, but don't expect the heavier wire to make those 38's run any better!
I usually try to stagger the 3 joints to avoid a fat spot in the cable.
