I just priced a 12 pin MIL spec connector $860.00, for both sides, backshell and pins. This doesn't include the special tooling required to crimp the pins (you can't just use a regular crimper, it take a "calibrated" crimper to attach the wires to the pins). So yo guys that are thinking "Hi-tech aircraft parts, COOL", Hope you got REALLY fat wallets. Besides a lot of aircraft manufacturers interior connectors are going to the same type connectors as the Molex, i.e; Snap together. It's cheaper.
