what type of connectors are these and how to make them?
Discussion
Does anyone know what type of connectors these are and how to make them? Are they DuPont connectors? There appears to be a serial number on the last picture, but can't find any info on it.
Plus do I need a special crimping tool for these such as the Engineer pa-09 shown here:

2) You can buy 'blank' multiplugs from a small handful of suppliers. They are not easy to get, and expensive when you do.
3) It's usual to buy the wires already attached to a small connector clip, that fit into the multiplug, and locks in place. They lock in place to ensure a solid connection with the ECU pin, but this makes it almost impossible to remove them.
I thought they were relatively cheap, as i thought you just buy the housings and crimp the wires. They should then just push in. These are a different design of housing, but similar concept:2) You can buy 'blank' multiplugs from a small handful of suppliers. They are not easy to get, and expensive when you do.

On the crimping tool I linked to it shows an example of housing and pins:
I just need to find the housing as shown in my photographs.

Manufactured by AMP Part number 10769
I can't find this on the net, you will need to contact a supplier of AMP connectors
Well this is the manufacturers website, but can't find any that look like this. Maybe they have been discontinued?I can't find this on the net, you will need to contact a supplier of AMP connectors

The big one looks like this link so you might have a word with the seller about the others:

Might help if we knew what vehicle they're on.
ETA. This looks like one of the others:

Thanks for this info. The large one certainly looks identical to it. I think I will contact the seller.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DEFENDER-10AS-Alarm-Cent...

They look like the connectors used on 90's Toyotas. Available from www.mouser.com, Mouser part no. 571-174516-6 for the 26 way connector.
The range of connectors are called TE Connectivity .040/.070 MULTILOCK Series Automotive Connectors.
Thanks for this, it's really good info. Out of interest which 90s Toyotas were you thinking of?The range of connectors are called TE Connectivity .040/.070 MULTILOCK Series Automotive Connectors.
I think the Mouser part no 571-174516-6 may very well be the larger one. Do you happen to know the part numbers for the smaller ones as well? I tried the search engine on the Mouser page, but it does not seem to be working on my computer.

Connectors also available in the UK at RS http://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/connectors/pcb-conne...
Thanks for that. They also seem to stock the 12 pin connector. Do you know if it is possible to get male to female converters for these plugs? The only female connectors I see for these connectors are for soldering to PCB.Gassing Station | Home Mechanics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
