Help finding a plug

[cutman]

Does anyone know where I can get one of these plugs? It's on the back of a JD 5075E. Here are pics of the female end and male end. I need the male plug:

If I can find this plug then I can tie into the current wiring system. If I can't find it I will have to run new wires directly to the battery. I'm trying to power foam markers on my sprayer.

Why not use trailer light plugs,thats what I use for my sprayers etc.

Did you try looking at jdparts.com?

Have you tried your local auto parts store? You might have to go to a NAPA to find it. I know that our NAPA store carries odd things that the "big box" auto stores don't.

When I looked at it this morning, when only the female end was displayed, I thought it was a 4-pin connector. But, there are only two?

 

[cutman]

Yep, only 2.

If any of those (last one the most promising?) works and you don't want to order on-line becasue most of this stuff ships from China, at least we know what to call it. Maybe we can find it close-by you at an automotive parts store? Or, a JD dealer?

I think that last one is exactly it! Thanks!

And with little effort and a couple tools replace yours with any two pin connector.

Found it here once I knew what to look for:

So...it looks like (based on that YouTube viideo) the most amps that connector can do is 9. The compressor on my foam marker requires 20. Dang. Looks like I'm going to have to wire it directly to the battery if I'm interpreting that correctly.

That doesn't sound right, but I'm not sure about which part.

OK. I'm no electrician, but if we can't figure this out (meaning I'm wrong) I'll ask my son tomorrow. He's an electrical engineer.

In the video they are building connectors from all the components. That one slide is relating what size wire is needed at the various amps. The connector will handle all commers - I think. And, I assume we can assume your wire that needs the connector is sized properly.

I've built little connectors like that before when extending wiring harnesses for handlebars on motorcycles. They are pretty easy to out together. The reason I am mentioning it is you can put whatever connector on you want if you can run a new wire to the back from your fuse box. Hopefully your son can help you out with that. I would see about adding a 20-30 amp spot in your fuse box and running a new wire back there. You can put an inline toggle switch for power on/off. If you do this ensure you get a connector that has a dust cover for when it is not in use.
