I don't have the terminal removal tool, so I've tried using a paper clip pushed down into the hole beside the pin inside the terminal block to release the pin from the block, but that isn't working.ĭisconnect the pin and socket halves of the Molex connector. I have tried following the instructions in the service manual, and the wires still won't budge.

I have the HD service manual and the parts book.
REMOVE PIN FROM MOLEX CONNECTOR HOW TO
I live in Tokyo, Japan and just called my local HD dealer, and was told it would take 2 months for them to order one for me!Īlternatively, has anyone got any good tips on how to get the pins out of the Molex terminal block? My bike is a 2007 Road King Classic. Also, the corresponding Amazon listing includes the phrase “For Mini-Fit Jr.” in its title.Can anyone suggest a supplier who can sell me a Molex Connector Terminal Removal Tool. But the “Application Tooling” section on the righthand side of Molex’s product page lists some models of terminals that seem to have pins shaped similarly to the desired one. Molex’s corresponding Application Tooling Specification Sheet lists the aforementioned terminals’ model numbers as compatible.Ī cheaper crimper, named by Waytek but not specifically for Mini-Fit Jr., called the Molex 63811-1000 MLX Hand Crimping Tool, 24-14 AWG, applies to the desired gauges, but the corresponding Molex Application Tooling Specification Sheet doesn’t specify the aforementioned terminals. The only crimp tool I found named by Waytek specifically for Mini-Fit Jr. Their corresponding extraction tool is Molex 11-03-0044 Mini-Fit Jr. The socket terminal is Molex 39-00-0039 Mini-Fit Jr. The pin terminal is Molex 39-00-0041 Mini-Fit Jr. The receptacle is Molex 39-01-2020 Mini-Fit Jr. The plug is Molex 39-01-2021 Mini-Fit Jr. Going by Waytek’s nomenclature, the items in my OP question appear to be the following or their generics (if any): (I’m not affiliated with any party, but this is how I best found the info in the absence of clearer nomenclature.) There are several models of Mini-Fit Jr. corresponding pins or wires), of the model’s containing series. It’s difficult to find these connectors on Molex’s website even with the model numbers, because it gives overly-generalized reference pictures, sometimes with a different number of circuits (i.e. Terminals & Connectors > Multi-Pin Connectors > Mini Fit JR Connectors. Without first knowing the number or uniquely identifying unbranded terms, some trial-and-error options are image searches or searches on manufacturer or retailer sites with specific categories.

In web searches, the Molex items can almost only be disambiguated by their manufacturer model numbers. This question discusses the difficulty in web-searching for Molex and generic or other-brand connectors, the shortcomings of related nomenclature, and the usefulness if the nomenclature were to have some basis in chamfered keying permutation, and it lists a few brands.

I don’t know what the connectors in my OP question are called if unbranded, so I’d also appreciate an answer that can give unbranded but specific names or search-friendlier branded names.

Molex considers the plastic connector that partially encloses its counterpart connector when mated as the plug, perhaps because the plug permanently houses the pin (male) terminals. diagrams considers the plastic connector that gets partially enclosed in its counterpart connector when mated as the receptacle, perhaps because the receptacle permanently houses the socket (female) terminals. The connectors in my OP pictures are part of either Molex’s “Mini-Fit Jr.” trademark of power connectors or a generic equivalent (if any I don’t know whether generics are permitted to be made). It has several types of 2-pin connectors. (Or they may be their generic equivalents, if any.) Molex is a company/brand. As mikes answered, these connectors are a type of Molex connector.
