Hi all
Found this recently in germany and when I cleaned it up I found the stamps shown in the photo below on it:-
19-7036A-2
FL 32627-1
also my part has "two symbols" below the text. I have been reseraching this on the net but can only find the "-2" variant not my "-1". In addition my part has two sysmbols stamped on it but most of the others on the net only have the one symbol. They all have the symbol shown on the left (top in photo) but not the second one shown on the right of my part (bottom symbol in photo).
Does anyone know exactly what this is, what plane it came from and what the symbols mean,? Really keen to identify this find - hope someone can help!
Thanks
Mark
 
The lower symbol looks like a stylized company logo much like LGs logo. The is a German company GWL for Gebrüder Wegerhof,Lüdenscheid. Gebruder is German for Brothers. They made German medals and qualification badges so perhaps they did the metal casting for your part???
 
The S/H symbol is very prominent - Siemens.
The original name of the company was Siemens & Halske, thus the S & H.


LGW-Siemens manufactured autopilot systems used in several airplanes.
LGW=Luftfahrtgeraetewerk was a company in Berlin.
I don't really know which airplane or mechanism is this part from.

The Deutsche Luftwaffe (An excellent site) has been updated ,it would be a generic item for most aircraft. Results as per attached.

So as per the above site it's just a "Stecker" (2 Pole) = bipolar Plug, but not necessarily from an autopilot, correct?
Looking at the photo I was thinking it is a rotating part.

The rotating part possibly locks the connections together ie male /female with the thread ,so the cables cannot become loose or fall apart.. etc etc.

Thanks, I know now. On the first photo I couldn't imagine the size of it. I was thinking of dials, that type of bigger rotating elements. In fact it's much smaller - here it is:

Photo comes from the site you mentioned above: Fl.32627-1, Stecker | Deutscheluftwaffe
Cheers!
 
Hi all
Thankyou everyone for the information on the part, very much appreciated. So as a general part none of the numbers relate it to a particular model of plane, will i be able to track this by some means or do the numbers not go into that much depth.
This may be s silly question but new to all this so calling on you guys for the expertise.
Thanks again all
Mark
 
Sorry one more question if i may, if a temperature sensor then this would be for the engine temperature?
 
It's highly unlikely that you can trace this standard part to a particular aircraft using the numbers stamped on it. Your only recourse would be to understand where it came from (crash site?) and to deduce a possible link to a particular aircraft by analyzing airframe-specific parts that may have been found together with your item.
 
I agree with the post above.
Here is a screenshot of a part list of Fw 190A-5. It seems that the part could be used also for the armament..

Mark, I want to add to the answers above that it can be just a part, not part of any particular plane.
Are there any wires coming out of the plug? Does it look like taken out of a bigger subassembly? It is not impossible that it comes out of a storage, not out of an a/c.
 
Thanks again all, theres certainly a great wealth of experience on here, appreciate all your help and taking the time to make the posts. I found the part on what used to be a wwii luftwaffe base and it does have what looks to be the remains of a cable in the end i will take a pic and post.
 
Hi all
Cleaned the area where i thought it had a cable, but mixture of mud and very small twigs so new and unused! Thanks again to everyone for all the posts even though i cant pin it to a particular plane the background info given more than makes up for it. I have a few more items for I.d that i found so will post when i get the pics together.
All the best
Mark
