[NJARC] Clarion call: weird electrical connector?

[Matt Reynolds]

All,

Let me clarify a bit.  First, Bill was right, it's my blower motor resistor assembly for my car.  Second by pack I meant the entire assembly.


The part I meant that I was hoping to replace was the clips that are holding those resistor coils to the plastic tray on the bottom.  If you look at the terminal from the point where the coils attach to them they look sort of like the spade crimp terminal that Bill pasted in his reply, but there are loops on the "female" side that hold the resistors in place.  It's not the same spot that normally holds the male spade in place.  I have normal spade crimps I could make work like Bill suggested, but just curious if that part was a known off the shelf part or some custom made connector.  I know so many of us have vast junk drawers of parts.


I hope that clarifies.  thanks for the opinions and assistance thus far.


Regards,

Matt

Ah, I recognize them - blower motor resistors for you DeLorean.

I assume you want the connectors for the ends of the wiring harness.  Don't know what you mean by "...little loops to hold the resistors in place."  The resistors are the coils, very low resistance.

Normally it's one multi-contact connector.  Looks like you can use individual normal 1/4 inch slip on crimp connectors.  like these,[cid:part1.06010801.07030700 at optonline.net].  I have some insulated ones, but you'll need to pull off the insulator [cid:part2.07040502.06000209 at optonline.net]  .  They'll take 12 thru 8 ga wire.  I also have the next smaller size, 16-12 ga.

I can bring some tomorrow if you like, or just pick up some at the blue store or orange store.

Thanks,
Bill

All,

Here's a long shot, but worth an ask. Does anybody know what the electrical terminals attached to the resistors in the attached picture on the plastic piece are called and or where I can get them? They look like spade crimp terminals, but they have little loops to hold the resistors in place.

The ones on my pack are super rusty, and do not want to come clean using Evaporust or the fiberglass pen\file.

I've went to the usual car parts stores and home improvement stores and I'm coming up empty handed.  If anybody can spare some that'd be awesome too.

Thanks!
