I'm looking for a source for these AMP/Tyco Electronics parts. Any of them will do. I've found a few places that will ship me only 20 of them (as opposed to spools of 30000+) but most of them have a minimum order of at least $30. I only need 20 of them or so which usually is about $.15/ea for a total of $3.00. Anybody have any good sources for this stuff?

have you checked mouser? I've used them for led's and never had an order over $10 I don't think

**TyroElite** · 02-13-2008

yea, mouser doesn't carry these. That was the first place I looked. I just ordered some other pins from them a few weeks back and it went great. I'm bummed they don't have these.

Hmmm, I looked at newark but apparently, I missed the 1 part number they cary that doesn't require thousands be ordered at once!! Thanks again Toasty. The one they have is for 24-22 awg wire and I was hoping to find some for 18-22awg. Any other good sources??

**Toasty** · 02-13-2008

whatever the second p/n is they can get, but it's like a 6 week lead time.

i didnt look at gauges

check Audio and Video, Computer Parts, Batteries, Cable and Wiring at MCM Electronics too

a sister of newark

**TyroElite** · 02-13-2008

the 2nd part number is the same gauge wire, just uses a different contact material... the first is brass and the 2nd is phosphor bronze.

Don't see any of them on the second site you listed.

are you trying to match a connector already in the car, or just adding a male/female plug?

**TyroElite** · 02-16-2008

I'm trying to match up a connector that is already there. I have otherways of doing it but I was trying to find a way to make it plug and play.

**archemedes** · 02-16-2008

sounds like that is more work though

sometimes more work is better in the end!

could you possibly use the one terminal that i found, and make it work with the slightly larger gauge wire? (crimp as well as possible, and use a little dab of solder to secure it?)

i'm just VERY surpised to see a tyco connector inside a GM vehicle... it is stamped tyco, right?

**TyroElite** · 02-16-2008

no tyco stamp but I looked up the part number from the connector diagram and that's what I came up with.

I think I will try using the small one that you found since its all I've got. Its the HUD control signal wires so I could probably use a small gauge wire and be OK.

I like doing things the right way even if it is a a little more work. If the tabs I find don't work out, I'll probably go with just finding some other 5 or 6 pin connector and use that instead.

can you post up the connector diagram you've got?

i suppose there's a first for everything, but i have NEVER seen a tyco connector in a gm car....
