Help identifying a connector

[Ian_Edwards]

I need some help help to identify a connector.

They are off a Tecma electric flushing toilet.

At first I thought it would be easy, standard rectangular 2 way car type 6.3mm spade connector.

But these connectors have two key ways, as you can see from the photograph. The standard car type connector I can find online, only have 1 key way.

Does anyone know what these connectors are called and where I can buy them, I need 6 pairs (male + female) plus a few spares

Any help gratefully received.

The terminals you show have a third spigot to prevent reversing the connection.
You could use :
050107 2 Way, (T-Shape) from http://www.autoelectricsupplies.co.uk/product/37/category/7 but you would need to change both sides of the connector both male and female parts

or
050102 2 Way

The one in the foreground looks like the TE/AMP 180923 part of a pair. The other half is 180924 - see

These can be ordered from RS Stock No. 245-1545 (pls double check)

I don't recognise the other connectors - possibly a different manufacturer?

Good Luck

If the actual "pins" are standard spades, which it looks like, then if you can't find the same shell you could always use individual spade connectors on them. I'm assuming you don't unplug your toilet very often so the additional hassle of checking you put the right pins in the right sockets is immaterial.

Or cut these connectors off and fit other ones. Superseal are good, and waterproof which is possibly useful around plumbing.

Thanks for the suggestions, but the as far as I can see the connectors suggested above are not the same as the ones in the photograph.

The connector on the RHS of the photo is perhaps easiest to see. There are two key ways, and indent on the LHS of the connector and a male key on the top of the connector. The other two connectors are the mating half's.

I'm aware I could use standard 1/4" (6.3mm) connectors and simply push them in (and it may come to that) but I'm trying to do a "proper job" and use the correct mating half's.

I could change both sides for a more readily available connector, but I'm reluctant to do that, I want to maintain compatibility with the Tecma controller.

The LH connector is the power input from the battery, the others two are outputs to the inlet pump and the macerator pump.

I'm building a simple push button control panels to replace the Tecma box of tricks (the boat has two heads both fitted with Tecma controllers), which whilst not being exactly unreliable, are unpredictable, sometimes the controllers overfill the bowl and don't flush sufficiently to clear the bowl, at other times the controllers flush aggressively. I've been unable to identify any pattern or reason for the unpredictability and they are just becoming a real pain. They also seem to be over complicated, with lots of circuity to achieve a very simple objective.

So any more ideas as to how to identify the connectors in the photographs?
