Raymarine ST60+ Displays - terminal size?

[Wandering Star]

I’ve made a couple of eBay purchases described as suitable female crimps for Seatalk1 but neither of the orders fitted the male tabs on the rear of the ST60+ displays. What should I be looking for? The ones I purchased I think were 2.8mm but are far too tight. I did read another thread of 2013 vintage which mentioned possibly 3.2mm were correct fit but I can’t for the life of me find any 3.2mm female crimps - help please!

Try this thread, which also states 2.8mm. I had to loosen the female spade slot with a Stanley blade slid in to open the gap for the first couple of mm. Then fitted over.

Thread 'Spade connectors for ST60-style Seatalk'

Ariam's current instrument fit is a haphazard collection of ST50 and a couple of ST60 units, connected together by a bizarre and untraceable spaghetti of cabling. I plan to replace most of the ST50s with some secondhand ST60s (bought on the forum) and redo the wiring from scratch. Because everything is second-hand, I don't have any of the "proper" flat seatalk connectors used for ST60 displays, but I understand that the actual receptacles in these plugs are standard, and available as individual crimp-on parts.

Does anyone know what term I should be searching for for these? They're...

There are 2.8mm x 0.8mm and 2.8mm x 0.5mm, you need the 0.8mm ones.

Thanks, I don’t know which ones I was sent (twice) they were advertised simply as Seatalk 1, but that makes sense - they’re cheap enough so I’ll reorder and specify the 0.8 type.
