flysamo Posted January 13, 2021 Report Posted January 13, 2021 got tired of replacing batteries in my Bose noise canceling head set, during an avionics upgrade converted to a faro adapter for the headset, was really surprised on how well that simple conversion worked out, no more battery change out and as soon as master is switched on, instant noise elimination and no more inflight battery change outs. now to do the co pilot side
PeteMc Posted January 13, 2021 Report Posted January 13, 2021 I thought about it but my avionics guy said he is constantly changing the connectors for people (Bose, DC, doesn't matter). So ALWAYS be MUCH more gentle than you think you need to be.
flysamo Posted January 13, 2021 Author Report Posted January 13, 2021 got name wrong its a lemo connector, can see that is to be treated with care, but really enjoy the way its works

LEMO plugs are delicate, most that I know just leave them plugged in
201Mooniac Posted January 13, 2021 Report Posted January 13, 2021 I know everyone says they are fragile but I've had them in my plane for more than 20 years without an issue. My headset always stays plugged in but the 3 positions get plugged and unplugged, not always by me, and have been fine. I wonder if the location matters, meaning is it placed such that the barrel of the headset plug can get hit sideways. Mine are all recessed so the plug barrel can't get hit easily.
PeteMc Posted January 13, 2021 Report Posted January 13, 2021 My guess is that a lot of people put them in and pull them out at an angle. Eventually they they break one end or the other. 1
