11-263. PRESSURIZED AREAS. Connectors installed in pressurized areas of the aircraft may be divided into two main installation categories, sealed and unsealed.

a. Sealed Connector Installations. Sealed connectors installed in pressurized areas must have their unused contact cavities filled with Teflon sealing plugs or rods. (See Figure 11-40.)

Installation of spare contacts is optional, except for future wiring addition requirements. (See paragraph 11-234). No stub wires are required.

b. Unsealed Connector Installations. It is not required to fill unused contact cavities of unsealed connectors installed in pressurized areas with Teflon sealing plugs or rods. Installation of spare contacts is optional, except for future wiring addition requirements.
