Sumimoto Automotive DL series connectors 6098-2156, 8100-2514, 8240-4882, 6098-1626

Stuart_S — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 03:51:42 GMT

I've been searching for these parts so I can make a couple of car audio harnesses for a test jig and they seem a bit hard to find.

the part no's are

16P Housing plug 6098-1624, female terminal pin 8240-4882

20P Housing plug 6098-2056 (16 +4) with female terminal pins 8100-2514(16x) and 8240-4882(4x)

They were used some time ago on FMSAudio car radios for Aussie Fords (AU Falcons,Fairmonts -LTDs) and Nissans about 1998-2002

If anyone has some of these lying about I'd be happy to arrange a trade.

Cheers!

Stuart

Yes, there are female type adapters to fit onto the plug (on vehicle harness ) but I can't find anything male to plug into the radio. I'm looking for the CD adapter type mainly the 6098-1626 which is the 16 pin used plug into the head unit for the CD stacker. I'm building an inline adapter for an AU1 Fairlane as it there is no AUX-IN and I will inject audio via the stacker L+R inputs - it also needs M-Bus data from the stacker to keep it alive. I could simply cut the stacker cable but I'm hoping to make something plug and play so the stacker can remain in situ while it still has a laser left.

Micro-D Connector Jackpost Hardware: Finding Odd Sizes

Troy.Bennett — Thu, 11 Apr 2024 23:39:11 GMT

I have an application where we are rear mounting a Micro-D connector that has a backshell but the jackposts that come with the connector are not long enough. I am looking for #2-56 Jackpost hardware for rear-mounting to a bulkhead that is at least 0.55 inches long (equivalent to 0.36" inches of threaded length) in order to get the jackpost mounted through the bulkhead and the backshell.

All the models in the standard catalog are not long enough. The longest I have found is 0.5 inches in total length.

Is there any catalog out there which has a wide selection of jackposts of various sizes?

Does anyone know the model number of a jackpost that fits the rear-mounting style, has the #2-56 sizing, and is right around 0.55 inches or longer?

Thank you,

Thanks Shabaz. You are on the right track, but I need the ream-mount jackpost design and the threads need to be #2-56 (which is for the lower pin count Micro-D connectors). A similar design is this one, but the thread length of this one is way too short (only around 0.200".

Is there somewhere where people look to see all types of jackpost hardware that is available? Typically I only find this type of hardware on datasheets for the connectors themselves, but it would be great to have a table of what jackpost designs are available all compared to each other.

I think I know what you're looking for, but I'm not 100% sure (might need a diagram to make it clearer). I can't see it on the Farnell/Newark website, but Mouser has this. The length of the threaded section appears longer than 0.36". Is that the kind of thing you're looking for?

Does Anyone Have a Project that Could Use Wago's Pluggable Tools-Free Connectors?

rscasny — Sat, 09 Sep 2023 19:24:56 GMT

I was speaking with WAGO who would like to some element14 members to use some of its pluggable connectors.

We first discussed a roadtest. In general, we don't roadtest connectors unless they are part of a larger eval kit. The timing for a design challenge for the remainder of this year isn't quite right as far as scheduling goes.

So, we thought we would ask if any of you would need their products for a project you are doing? If so, we would get some for you.

Let me tell you about the Wago pluggable connectors:

WAGO's pluggable connection system provides a 'tools free' solution for your wiring applications. The system includes seven product lines (2.5–7.62 mm/0.98–0.3 inch pin spacing) and terminates conductors ranging from 0.08 to 10 mm2 (28–8 AWG), offering a wide range of application possibilities.

Features:

Versatile pluggable connection system for continuous system wiring
Easy cable pre-assembly and on-unit wiring via vertical and horizontal actuation for the CAGE CLAMP® variants
Push-in CAGE CLAMP® termination of both solid and ferruled conductors
100% protection against mismating that's easy to implement
Compact and versatile designs
Easy-to-customize coding options
Intuitive and tool-free lever actuation
Universal connection for all conductor types
Push-in termination of solid and ferruled conductors
Test slot 90° to conductor entry
100% protected against mismating
Coding option available
Rapid in-the-field connections

If any of you have a project and would like to get some of these connectors, please leave a comment below.

Perhaps not much 'fun' though when you are doing 100s at a time.

You tend to need to allow the heat shrink to slide as it shrinks otherwise you end up with a gap between the numbers. I found that angled tweezers were the best for that as you could slide them together as they were shrinking.

In general though I found the chevron markers easier to work with.

The chevron markers were useful as the numbers were also colour coded so you could still read it if the text wasn't in view.

I had some single digit pre-printed heat shrink markers but they were a bit of a pain if you had to do more than 0-9 as they tended to dance around the cable with the air from the heat gun so getting two or three to line up neatly was 'interesting'.

We used a little Dymo machine that could print on heat shrink.

I found out recently that the plastic insulation on those ferrules tends to go brittle over time and crumbles away. A colleague was servicing some kit I had built back in '89 and found this to be the case.

It may be that the plastic used in the manufacture of newer ferrules is more stable now though.

I tended to use the insulated variety as it helped stop the chevron slip-on cable markers from slipping off the end of the cable during assembly and maintenance.

shabaz I love it - but it's too hard to find a sewing needle when I need it. I don't know if I could bring myself to sacrifice one. 😆👍
Truthfully... the ferrule on the needle is brilliant.

RE: Does Anyone Have a Project that Could Use Wago's Pluggable Tools-Free Connectors?

shabaz — Thu, 14 Sep 2023 21:39:50 GMT

Unrelated, but just rediscovered this.. I'd forgotten about it, but seems useful enough to re-post!

It's using (abusing) ferrules to make Arduino jumpers and probes! Simply push a pin from a pin header into the ferrule from one end, and the wire from the other.

The thing lower-right is a chopped sewing needle, i.e. steel point. Useful for making probes, if the needle is (say) 0.8 mm diameter or 1.0 mm or whatever is required for the task at hand.

I've got pretty good tool that I bought on Amazon, but thanks for the link. As I said, I only asked the question, because the Wago connectors were proposed for use.

RE: Does Anyone Have a Project that Could Use Wago's Pluggable Tools-Free Connectors?

shabaz — Thu, 14 Sep 2023 21:25:58 GMT

I use this tool for almost every project:

/products/roadtest/rv/roadtest_reviews/58/knipex_self_adjustin

Ferrule tools are amongst the best purchases ever for good stranded wiring to Wago connectors as well as screw terminals etc.

I have a second ferrule tool as well (which crimps in a kind of criss-cross fashion), plus a "crimping pliers" style one that will put an indent in, but the one linked above is by far my favourite. (a pity it's shot up in price over the years, but the alternatives like crimping pliers are affordable, and still good).

That's what I use. I was just asking since they were proposed.

I've used them on solid copper AC residential wiring. The worked fine for that. The longevity still needs to be seen though.
