Folks:

  

 I have an ARC 459 transponder which uses a backplane connector which is no  apparently longer made, and for which sockets are only available through a few  sources at high cost.  It appears to me that the .110 x .020 size faston  receptacles would fit quite nicely on the existing pins.  I would like to  wire a DB-25 connector to the transponder using such fastons to make wiring it  into rest of the plane a snap.

  

 Anyone ever tried this before?  If acceptable, the faston approach  should also work nicely for the 359 and thereby open up a good source of  inexpensive used transponders.

  

 (I previously had a response suggesting that I wire the d-subconnector  directly to the transponder circuit board.  This seems less desirable to  me.)  

  

 Thanks,

 Andy Elliott, Mesa, AZ
