Some of you may know I have started working for a wire harness supplier. While I'm sitting here in my nice cozy sales office I've found a way to get samples of various connectors that may be of use to us.

Basically look at the bottom of THIS WEBPAGE and you can order samples at no cost.

Have a look through the component catalogue to get the part numbers of the connector you fancy, all ampages and wire sizes are listed, with all the bits required, terminals, seals, male/female housings are linked to each other.

My advice would be 10 of each housing and 100 terminals and seals (these come prepacked).

Shipping is free, but slow so if you want them quick you can put in a tnt or dhl type account number to get them express.

OEM connectors for nowt!

surely there's some kind of limit where they'd say enough's enough

i need connectors for my hella 90mm lights, but don't know where to start on that catalogue

As said 10 for the housings and 100 for terminals and seals is the sensible limit as advised by my component sales engineer...

If you go into a part number and click the family type you will see a pic of the connectors in the family.

awesome thanks for the link!
