Multipin Electrical Connectors

[Steinberg]

Here are some suggestions that should help do wiring harnesses "right". These crimp connectors technically need a special crimp tool ($$$), but you can do them without the tool, it just takes a little more time and care. I have the proper crimper for the Amphenol stuff. This thread is inspired by Trow's dozens of individual spade connectors for taking his doors off.

Amphenol AT Series
http://www.mouser.com/catalog/catalogUSD/639/1310.pdf
Pin counts from 2-12, sealed, crimp-style, 13Amp rating. What you need are a plug, receptacle, wedges, male and female contacts. For example, everything you'd need for 8 pins would cost $12.76

Molex MX150L
http://www.mouser.com/catalog/catalogUSD/639/1480.pdf
Pin counts from 2-16, sealed, crimp-style, 18Amp rating. Sold as more of a package rather than individual parts. $14.72 for everything you need for 8 pins.

There are many more types out there, including non-sealed which are less expensive. Let me know what your needs are and I can probably look up the best connector for the application.

Way-Tek wire also sells the GM style "Weather Pac" connectors.

we can probably combine a few orders together. I wouldn't mind doing this for my doors as well since the connectors on my truck are just a little annoying to get to.

yes, but you still want new pins to do a clean job of it.
