Hello Gerry,
This answer may get boos from the gallery, but if you need a connector
inline, I'd consider a regular old low density DB-9 (with the shells).
The specs I see show that it's common for them to be rated to operate up
to 125degC (257degF). Tefzel wire only appears to be rated to 150degC
which is not too much hotter. The ignition wires should be routed
carefully to avoid hot things and eliminate chafing anyway.
As far as dealing with the shields, don't worry about it. Just split the
shields from the centers as close as practical to the connecter on each
side, wire each shield to a seperate connector pin, and that's it (like
each signal pin). The efficiency with which noise can get out of or into
that short a break in the shield will be inconsequential.
Regards,
Matt-

I'm installing the LightSpeed Plasma II+ ignition in my RV-9.
The wiring loom from LSE comes pre-fabricated from the crank
sensor in the flywheel all the way to the DB25 that connects to
the ignition module.
I want to put a disconnect in the crank sensor cable forward of
the firewall so that if I ever have to remove the engine, I
don't have to rip up the wiring inside the panel aft of the
firewall which, is where the ignition module will be housed.
Can anyone suggest a good quality in line connector that can
serve ? It needs to have six wires, 2 of which are for the
separate shields on the two separate channels.
I guess the requirement is that the connector should be capable
of resisting the typical heat within the cowling, cable of
mechanically isolating "pin" connections from any vibration in
the cable sheathing, have good shielding capabilities (since
its a sensor cable).
Thanks in advance ...
