Connector Component Data Base Description

The attached connector parts list will assist you in identifying service part numbers for Original Equipment wiring connectors.

The parts list contains seven fields of information to help you properly identify Original Equipment part numbers.

1. Car Zone

The car zone is the major sorting field for the list. A car zone may be a physical location, such as "Door" or "Underhood", or it may be related to an electrical system, such as "Brakes" or "A/C".

2. Connector Description

Identifies a specific connector. Information on car zone, connector size and gender (male/female), and comments is intended to help you properly identity a specific connector. Most connector descriptions will list a specffic device to which the connector mates, such as "Blower Motor" or "Speaker - Bose". In some cases, such as "P/Window Motor, the same connector is used many times (one in each door), so it is listed only once.

3. Connector Part Number

The connector part number is the Original Equipment part number of a specific connector. This is used to assist a PARTECH advisor in identifying the correct service part number.
4. Secondary Lock Part Number

Some connectors require separate Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) components. These Original Equipment part numbers may assist your PARTECH advisor in identifying correct service part numbers and should always be specified when a related connector is ordered. The comments field may contain more information on TPA'S.

5. Terminal Series

The name of the terminal "Family" for a specific connector. This may assist you in selecting the proper terminals for use in a connector and it may also assist your PARTECH advisor in locating proper service part numbers.

IMPORTANT: Most connectors used on these vehicles are from widely used, serviceable "families". However, many connectors, such as "59 Ser Mldd" (molded connector), can only be serviced by connector repair kits.

6. Connector Size and Gender

This column contains the size (number of terminal cavities) and terminal gender (male or female) of a specific connector. This will assist you in assuring that you have selected the correct connector for a specific application. For example, many ECM's may have a 24 terminal connector and a 32 terminal connector. The size and gender may help you arrive at the proper connector.

7. Comments

Miscellaneous comments are included where appropriate. Frequently this will be used for connector colors or where any other field is too lengthy to fit in the standard format.
