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.

Pull on wires (3 to 4lbs) to ensure that your connections on both sides of the OLC-2 are firm and secure.

[Customer service] is great!
The OPT-1 is more readable than the factory Cessna oil pressure/temp gauges.
Phone service for ordering was quick and easy. Shipping was quick.
Looks Great, and intuitive to use. Packs a lot of information in a tight area, yet, I don’t need my glasses to read it!
I installed a VA-1A Volts/Amps Insturment [sic] in my 1970 V35B to replace the original analog amp meter. What a great dual purpose digital gauge! Installation was simple and the product is very well made. It goes well next to my SuperClock I installed a couple of years ago. EI makes great products and this one will satisfy the most discriminating owner.
Easy installation.
Looks great. Works great.
Sharp-looking gauges. [I chose EI because of your] reputation.
EI’s team is great; you guys are the best.
Easy installation, lightweight solution. It looks good and is easy to use. [I chose E.I. because] I needed to replace my old Hobbs meter. This provided more functionality, allowing me to remove my old digital timer, and EI programmed it to my current airframe time.
I really appreciate the quality of communication about my order. The instrument offers the right functionality (being a primary instrument) in the right form factor for my application.
Very affordable… great installation instructions. [I chose EI because of its] price point, certified primary.
