Retroanaconda Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Can anyone identify this type of connector and the terminal to match? One of the terminals had come off its wire and in the process of getting it out of the plug moulding I snapped it so need to source another. They look kind of like ATX power connectors off PC motherboards, but I'm not sure it's the same type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I *think* I have some of those in the garage, how soon would you need one? I could pop it in the post for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UdderlyOffroad Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 James, Looks like an AMP/Tyco 'Mate-n-lock' as per Paul MC's link. Can't seem to find an 8-way though. My link is from an Ebay seller who I've had bits from before and is pretty quick. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 Cheers guys. It does look like a Mate-n-Lock but they have round pins rather than the square ones this connector has. That's great Lewis, got any pics of the one you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Umm, not to hand, and it's raining now. Do you need male or female? I'll look tomorrow and post up in the evening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 I just need a single female pin as in the photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that it's a Molex Mini-Fit connector - http://www.molex.com/molex/products/family?key=minifit_jr&channel=products&chanName=family&pageTitle=Introduction&parentKey=wire_to_board_connectors They can be bought from RS, Farnell, or on eBay. .

RJF Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I'd guess at it being a Molex Mini-Fit Jr. Measure the main body. If it's 18x9.6mm then it's a Mini-FitJr. If you need the crimps, Maplin do the 20way housing and 20 crimps for £2.19 (L70AZ - sold as ATX Motherboard Female Connector) and avoids the postage/small order charges from RS/Farnell. I might have some - I'll have to check. If I do I'll bung a couple in an envelope to you if that would help. Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 The ones I have are a round pin not square, and the connector releases at the side rather than on the top. Sorry Retroanaconda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 Cheers all for the help. Mini-Fit Jr. is the ticket I think, measures exactly 18x9.6. I think I have managed to source some Molex Mini-Fit pins, time will tell when they arrive if they fit - will shout if not! Unfortunately my closest Maplins is about 35 miles away and closest RS much further so most things have to be mail ordered anyway. Not to worry Lewis, thanks for checking.

Turbocharger Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Please post up if you do ID it, I've been looking for an 8-way version for work but I've been unsuccessful so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbekko Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Pretty sure I linked you the exact type of connector, but ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looking for ideas for future wiring in my Disco, some installments are best fitted removable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbekko Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Not sure about that, they're pretty tiny pins. Looking at the specs, that says 9.5A @ 600V... so for 12V, not quite that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 The terminals I ordered fit it OK and seem to do the job so I think we can conclude it is definitely a Molex Mini-Fit Jr. The TE Mate-N-Lok is similar, but not compatible. Thanks again all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
