Taimya IR bulb plug type
#1
Thread Starter

Does anybody Know what the plug is that is on the end of the Tamiya IR bulb?
I am in need of one, and eventually a couple maybe.
Im wondering if I can order it at mouser or someplace like that. I figure its a molex type based on what a friend told me.

DigiKey has them, they're mini jst. If you look at a plug you have, there will be a 4 digit number cast on it somewhere, just use that to match the schematics on the website. You'll need to buy the crimp ends too.

They are made by Molex, somebody here posted the part numbers a while back, but the search function is failing me... I'll see if I can dig them out and read the p/n off the baggie fo you.
Farnell / Newark have them, the plugs are a few cents but the crimp pins are about 30 cents a pop and a real pain to assemble. (The crimp tool is an eye watering price as well)

Molex part number is 51065-0200 for the connector body, Newark Electronics link:

The crimp socket parts are 50212-8100, you'll need 2 per connector. Newwark Link:

(The Newark part numbers are also valid on their UK sister site Farnell electronics, in case any EU member's need to pick some up...)
Now all you need is a large magnifying glass, small pliers and steady hands...

You could also use JST male connectors and solder into the existing wire. They don't "click" in as the molex, do but work. I've only used them for speaker connections to tammy MF's.
