Connector?

[revilla]

Does anyone know what the usual name for this range of connectors is (this one is used for example on the lambda sensor on my K VVC), and/or where I can buy them and the terminals for them in the UK? Best description I have so far is KKS SLK 2.8-ELA plus a load of BMW and Ford part numbers but they must be a standard range. Only place I've found selling them so far is here but postage from Finland hikes the price a bit!

Are they econseal?

Is it "Bosch Common Rail"? The same as the bit used on diesel injectors? Lots of those on eBay UK, scroll down a bit.

don't know what they're called but I think you'll get them from Polevolt.

Hi - me again.

 

I have a stock of male & female connectors and the silicone waterseal plugs that go over the wire if you're desperate.

 

No plastic plugs though you can usually get them apart & re-use.

Thanks Ian but it's actually the plastic plug I was looking for. There's a little catch you push to release it. I pulled it... It snapped off... D'oh!

[Jonathan Kay]

Didn't any of the ones I linked to look right? If it is "Bosch Common Rail" then you can get them and terminals etc from diesel service outlets.

Thanks for the responses, but ...

 

Jonathan normal connectors for Bosch common rail injectors are the AMP Junior Timer connectors, which although also available in 4-pin are not the same. However on the page you linked to, if you scroll down a bit, there is one labelled "MERCEDES VITO DIESEL INJECTOR CONNECTOR. BOSCH COMMON RAIL. INJECTOR PLUG." - is this the one you were referring me to? It's the same range as that, except the 4-pin rather than the 2-pin, however fuel injectors only use the 2-pin so injector suppliers don't seem to carry the 4-pin.

 

It's not Econoseal, Sureseal or Packard Timer either, and doesn't appear to be any of the ones stocked by Polevolt or Simtek either.

 

The 2-pin version of it is also used for the EU3 coil packs.

 

It's one of these described as a "KKS SLK 2,8 ELA, 4" with part numbers MB: 0001530842, Ford: 4S7T-14A464-AB, Citroen: 964898258, BMW: 1436157.

 

Maybe a Ford, Citroen or BMW dealer may have them, although whether they would stock and sell the terminals for them I'm not sure and I don't have part number for them. I suppose I could just stick a different connector on both ends but the one on the lambda sensor has a bracket to mount to the rear cam belt cover (being a VVC I have two!) and I'd like to replace like with like and keep it correct. Postage from Finland doesn't look too bad actually. If I don't spot anything better I'll order from Finjector.

 

Thanks for looking anyway.

[Jonathan Kay]

Ah... you're ahead of me. It was just the physical similarity I'd spotted. I looked at the page for that "MERCEDES VITO" and it warned that it wasn't the common one. But as they are the same family of connector would it be worth contacting the seller? The 2-pin and 4-pin might take the same terminals.

 

Good luck

They do look like the SSC ones on here

 

Maybe worth contacting them to see if it is and if anwhere here stocks them?
