Name of connector and where to find?

[ir_cow]

Hi all,

I'm looking for the official name of this connector and where to buy it.

It's molex terminal something. And I've seen ones that are small for fan headers but I don't know about this size

Thank you

Male spade crimp terminal connector.

Although you might need to bend it into shape.

Thanks for the help. Are they sold as pre-bent?

Hmmmmmm

I don't think I have my Newark electronics catalog handy. I think molex and multicomp make these.

I suspect Mouser would be a good place.

This one mates with a flat or square male pin. Could it be a part of a floppy connector?

Male spade crimp terminal connector.

A male spade connector is thick and rigid. If bent and used as a spring contact, it would do its job very poorly, or outright break before it could be bent into required shape.

Thanks thanks! That connector is a ink key for a paper press. But it's 30 years old and cable broke.

Now we can make more cables and reuse the connectors.

If I was me I would just use new connectors, but they want to stick to the original design.

Well I sent a email out to the boss man with these links from @mechtech . This put us on the right track. Thanks again to everyone who chimed in.

Modern automobiles are full of electronics in late 2023. Thus, you can find some of these parts at a typical auto parts store like O'Reilly:

Same thing with modern homes: full of electronics. It's not just your doorbell and power sockets anymore. So a well appointed hardware store will likely have these. Easier to walk into some hardware store staffed by old timers and show them the actual part you are trying to replace. If it's in the store, they will walk you to the small drawer where they live. Plus, you may have the option of buying just a few instead of a box of 100.

If you have nearby mom-and-pop computer stores, you might try those too.

It is not a connector, or Molex.

Note first, Molex is just a brand or company name. While the word "molex" has become synonymous with certain types of connectors, it is similar to the word, "Kleenex". That is a brand name but has come mean any "tissue". "Hoover" is another. "Hoover" is a brand/manufacturer of vacuum cleaners, but in some countries, the UK for example, it is just a noun for all vacuums. They even use it the verb form, "hoovering", to mean the action of vacuuming. Google is another. "Google it" does not necessarily mean to use the Google search engine. It just means to go look it up on the Internet.

That device is a spring-loaded (or tension) "contact", typically found inside connectors such as a microphone or headphone jack connector. The part you are looking at would be the Tip or Ring contact as seen below.

I would not even try to find an exact replacement for that contact and instead would just replace the whole connector.
