Connectors

[swatson999]

I need to replace an EGT probe, and the one I have for a spare has a different connector (it's a white-ish plastic on the female spade connector). Anyone know what the correct matching male part is or where to get it?

Got the replacement from ACS about a year ago...hoping these "new" connectors are better than the older ones, but in any case, I need to get a stash of the appropriate mates for them...

thanks!

I use the AMP brand ones, they work when used with the correct tool ,

They may work, but are they the correct connector? The AMP PIDG connectors I have are color-coded red, yellow or blue, not white...

And I use an AMP 59250 crimper for those, as well.

AFAIK there are no white amp ones, I just use the red as it suits the wire size

I didn't think there were white AMP connectors.

However, there MUST be a male matching connector for these probes. Yes, I could use a red male (spade) connector, but I'd like to use the correct part if possible.

It's the anal retentive engineer in me...

Oh, and while it was initially bouncing all over, it eventually went to a red X...until I removed the probe, scowled at it, swore at it, and used very stern language, and then put it back in. During a ground run today post-oil change, it's working just fine again.

Go figure. Hmph.

I understand, the spade ( male) connectors are available as an AMP part, try EDMO or other supplier over there. I'm fairly sure AS&S & B&C don't have them.

Ps - "working now" will probably come back to haunt you ;D

Yeah, since it failed once, it's bound to fail again. I'll be changing it out very soon...
