Re: EDAC - cable connection



Hi Yves,

It looks good. However, I suggest you add another ground cable (black?) 
and perhaps connect both ground cables to a single crimp eyelet. For 
reliability, I would also connect another HV shield wire (red?). Maybe 
these are already there but I cannot see from the picture.

A small detail. Do you plan to apply any conformal coating (acrylic) 
over the the shield solder joints? This is just to prevent any shield 
wires from contacting any other object and to keep them secure. Please 
avoid any silicone based wires or products that go on the gas volume.

Regards,
Fernando
