We now offer a comprehensive kit that includes crimpers and ferrules (20 ga and 24 ga) along with our popular OLC-2 connectors, designed by our engineers with naval brass barrels, a nylon sleeve, and two set screws. This new connection method rivals the strength of gas-tight cold welds, ensuring the most reliable and long-lasting wire connections Electronics International has ever offered for your aircraft engine monitors.

Prepare the Wires: Strip the ends of the wires to the appropriate length.
Crimp the Ferrules: Place the stripped wire ends into the ferrules and use the crimper to secure them.
Insert into OLC-2: Insert the crimped ferrule ends into the OLC-2 connector and tighten the set screws.
Crimp the ferrule.
Snip off any excess wire that may be protruding through the end of the ferrule terminal.
Pull on the crimped ferrule (3 to 4lbs) to ensure that it is firmly attached to the wire.
Insert the crimped ferrule into OLC-2 and tighten with a hex wrench until the hex wrench flexes (3 inches lbs). Repeat on the opposite end to complete your connection.

Easy install and great gauges. Previous experience showed that EI’s units were… great prices and even better instruments. Being able to install the gauge as a primary instrument was a major plus.
Great customer service!
EI representatives… have been very helpful, truthful, and knowledgeable… We had no idea, that a few weeks later [after our purchase], we would need to have a Top Overhaul. What great timing! Having your engine monitor installed in our plane will hopefully help us keep it out of the shop for further engine repairs.
Every person was willing to help me when I needed and the whole purchasing process was smooth. [And, E.I.] was recommended by my mechanic.
The OPT-1 is more readable than the factory Cessna oil pressure/temp gauges.
Great tech support. Someone always answers and gives accurate concise information.
Awesome Tech Support. Like the functions it supports and the fit and look in the panel.
We have other EI products currently and have always been satisfied.
Really impressed thus far . . . . a rock solid replacement for old mechanical gauges.
Easy install, good product. [I chose EI because of my] experience with [the] product.
I have worked with and installed a few of your competitors’ and your systems. EI instruments’ ease of use and installation make these systems my go-to choice and number one recommendation to customers.
Good equipment at a good price. I have used your products before and have had great success.
