WANTED Power Window Pigtail Connectors

[rexus31]

Does anyone have the male (harness side) connector for the below connectors. These are off a power window motor. I need two.

These should work. DELPHI PACKARD GM 56 SERIES TWO CONDUCTOR CONNECTOR SET 12 GA. PACKAGE OF 2 | eBay

They won't clip together like the original, but they will fit.

Look around for Packard 56 connectors until you get the best deal.

Better deal. (5 Pack) Delphi 56 Series Metri-Pack 2-Way Female Connector 2973781 w/TERMINALS | eBay

The actual terminals are female, as it should be. The insulator is obviously male.

Thanks, John!

I'm assuming this kit would contain the parts I'm looking for as well? Never hurts to have a kit around.

Also, I notice the dies on my open barrel crimper are too wide to accommodate the 56 series male terminal due to the tabs on either side of the crimp. I searched for additional dyes for my tool but couldn't find any. Any suggestions?

Maybe I need this tool so I can crimp the jacket and wire separately.

I have that tool.
It comes closest to making a factory style crimp.

I think I need to grind down one of the dies from my tool to allow it to clear the alignment pins on the male connector.

Edit...I went ahead and bought that crimper rather than hassle with grinding down the dies on mine. Besides, you can never have too many tools!

I bought one of these that does both at the same time and I can't say that I am real happy with it.

Some crimps are good, but there are sometimes that it just mangles the insulation crimp. You have to really lean on it to do some of the larger terminals.

I've been looking for an alternative....

That looks just like mine but the dies on mine will not clear the alignment tabs on the male 56-series terminals. It works great on the females.

Better price... and it's Prime and does the Amazon "Smile" donation.

BTW, for you guys that buy from Amazon, they have a donation program for charity were a small portion of the purchase is donated to a charity of your choice. Costs you nothing... you just have to sign up...and they've done about $70 million in donations.

My choice is the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. I have three grandkids with CF...

Yep, I haven't been able to do those correctly at all. I've tried bending them and even clipping them off.

I think I'm going to try the Iwiss crimper.

Thanks for the heads up. Not to get off topic, but I steer clear of Amazon. I have a couple friends who are small business owners and patent holders who had their products knocked off and sold on Amazon for far less than the authentic product could be sold for which has seriously hurt their business. Amazon claims to police counterfeiters but they do little to nothing to prevent the practice. It's sad, really. The donation program however, is worthwhile.

The counterfeiting problem is far worse than a lot of people know.

I had a rather large customer that was having problems with Chinese counterfeiting their parts. The loss of sales was one thing, but the killer was the counterfeits were failing and being returned to them for warranty replacement.
