Round 3mm Crimp Terminals

[peter_m7uk]

Hi,

 

I will shortly be connecting my Premier Wiring Systems loom up, which involves joining a bunch of wires to the steering column switchgear.

I could use a load of bullet connectors to connect the cut-off ends of the wires to the new loom, but I thought it would be neater and easier

to just crimp the original kind of terminal for the multiplugs. I noticed that you can flip open a cover on each multiplug and it's easy to pop

the terminals out, so seems like a very neat way to do the job. In the pic, you can see (a bit blurred on the close-up) that they're ordinary

crimp terminals, but instead of spade ends, they are round tubes to accept the 3mm diameter pins on the switchgear. I had a bit of an internet

search, but couldn't find them. They must be standard automotive stuff, so can anyone help???

 

Cheers,

Peter

Hi Peter, try RS mate, they do almost everthing you can imagine electrical. Not the cheapest, but ok for those awkward hard to find bits.

I have some and I'm sure I had them from Premier so I'd try them, so I'd go back to them.

Got mine from Premier Wiring.

Thanks Chaps,

 

I spoke to Alan at Premier Wiring and he said he did have them, but they've all gone. Reckons I won't get hold of any now, as they were

made specially for Ford. Never mind, bullets or soldering will do the job!
