I just got some Aerocon PCB switches. I planned on soldering insulated wires to its pins then heat shrink or potting epoxy over the each connection. Then drilling hole in the Av bay switch band on the coupler tube. Then epoxy the PCB switches into the band holes. Then wiring those wires into the terminal blocks already on the altimeters switch input/output from the PCB switch. I plan on using like a foot of wire per connector to allow room to remove av bay tray and hook up batteries etc that way. Then drilling holes into the lid bulkhead of the av bay for the ejection wires to run too. Then putting separate altimeter port sizing holes for pressure sampling on the av bay band. Then sealing off the holes in the lid with like electric tape or putty. And using terminal block on altimeter already for apogee and main charges.
I am new to dual deploy but I don’t understand why someone needs a terminal block not already on the altimeter itself???? Can somebody explain. If anybody thinks I got bad ideas forgoing more terminal blocks not already on the altimeters please advise.
