Description
You are bidding on an EXCELLENT example of a WW2 German Luftwaffe Messerschmitt Me109 Brandschottdose (Firewall Electrical Socket), Fl 32649-2 / 19-7060A-1! This female socket is one of the principal electrical connections used between the engine installation and the aircraft electrical system. Used on all Me109 versions from F through K.
Several major electrical connectors were mounted through the engine firewall and associated fuselage electrical installation, providing the detachable connections required between the engine, its accessories and the aircraft wiring system. This socket formed one of the main firewall connection points, allowing the engine electrical installation to be disconnected from the airframe for servicing, maintenance or engine removal.
Made of steel and phenol, this ORIGINAL late-war example is in EXCELLENT NEW OLD STOCK condition! Some marks and wear from storage…however, there is NO damage and all connection points remain intact! No stamped part numbers, but that is consistent with late-war production examples. The unit remains 100% FUNCTIONAL and would likely still be usable today. I have shown its location in the last images. A VERY RARE original electrical component and a FANTASTIC addition to any Me109 engine installation, firewall restoration or advanced Luftwaffe aviation collection!
