Crimp terminals for Sierra indicator connectors
gingerprince - 27/3/18 at 12:19 PM

Hi

Does anyone know the name and availability of the round (3mm ID) female terminals that are in the Sierra stork switch gear? Need to replace some that have had the wires cut short. On the right in this picture: -

I thought Molex hard drive power terminals might work like these but they're only 2.36mm. I've done countless googles with the terms crimp, terminal, female, round, socket, 3mm and struggling to find an obvious match - hoping someone's already been to the trouble of identifying

Thanks

Can't help with a source or even P/Ns.

You may be better looking for some ready assembled connectors with longer wires to terminate.

That's what I did - got a connector with a chopped-off bit of loom attached, and pieced out each wire using solder and shrink-wrap sleeving.

Good info!

Do you need a fancy crimp tool to use them (or can they be soldered to the wires)?

Perfect - thanks! Looks like they're also available on ebay in smaller quantities for about 4 quid for 10 - linky

I bought a ratchet non-insulated crimp tool, chinese thing, was a bit crap really. Now use one of these, and it's seems to create much better crimps - linky dink
