Cleared for Takeoff
I'm strongly considering swapping out my Bendix King VHF Com KY97A for a Garmin SL40 and tray that I already have.
I'd rather just build a transition cable to go between the existing flat connector on the KY97A tray to the 15 pin D-sub on the Garmin.
The KY97A radio a circuit board type connector that slides into the connector on the tray. To make a transition cable, I'd need to get something that would emulate the circuit board tabs. I looked on Digi-Key and Mouser without luck, but since I'm not sure what to call what I'm looking for I could have missed it.
There is a reason why I'd prefer to keep the KY97A connector but that is not important to this question.
