Abstract: Provided is a transition assembly for a wire harness configured to be coupled to a plate in an aircraft. The transition assembly includes a slotted flange configured to abut a first side of the plate, a junction having a flange configured to abut a second side of the plate, the flange including inwardly extending cutouts on opposite sides thereof forming a reduced width portion of the flange, and a nut configured to couple to the junction.

Abstract: An optimized thermocouple system and a method of optimizing a thermocouple system having a plurality of thermocouple probes and a junction box is provided and includes examining the thermocouple system to identify a first thermocouple probe of the plurality of thermocouple probes, wherein the first thermocouple probe includes a first positive leg and a first negative leg and is located electrically farthest from the junction box. The method includes calculating a first loop resistance between the first thermocouple probe and the junction box and configuring a second thermocouple probe of the plurality of thermocouple probes having a second positive leg, a second negative leg and a second loop resistance such that the second loop resistance is substantially equal to the first loop resistance.
