Hello,
We know on our D -Jetronic harness some male connectors 2,3,4,5 ways with female connectors with female pins inside. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i48.servimg.com-23807-1640445696.1.jpg) Do you know female connectors with male pins inside. ? I need your help because I want to use on my 914 Porsche a 123 ignition distributor. For the OEM distributor I have a 3 ways female connector and for the harness 3ways male connector I'd like to make a little harness with a 3 ways male on one side and 3 ways female connector on the other side It's easy to find male connectors with female pins but I don't find female connector with male pins. Do you know where I can find these parts ? The advantage of this little harness is if I have problems with the 123 ignition distributor I can use my OEM one without harness modification. Can you help me please ? PS: what is the item number of these D-Jetronic connectors ? Best regards Michel |

With all due respect, opinion doesn’t matter.
Thousands upon thousands of engineering man hours have been spent engineering wiring harness designs and automotive connectors to ensure high reliability. All the OEMs have their own laboratory facilities with vibration shaker tables and environmental test cells for proving out durability both at component and vehicle level. This isn’t guess work or opinion. Typical 4 post shaker used to validate at whole vehicle level in addition to on-road durability testing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0tPGOYFIfw?si=H2FBd_t7E8Z7Iok3 Likewise there are independent third parties that are continually doing competitive teardowns and engineering analysis on all OEM’s designs. If there are better engineering designs that result in higher durability, you can be sure those designs will be further evaluated by the OEM’s and then propagated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-98gpXbcrXU?si=j7wIYpHljAjXLBZ9 I’m going to post some under hood photos from four different OEMs varying across 20 years of production and with one vehicle that is 30+ years on-road and without issues related to wiring harness or this style of connectors. All these connections are exposed to high temps and potential fluid contamination. I will also post a couple photos where a full boot is used as you propose. In the cases where a full boot is used, I’ll point out why it was used and the caveats that go with that execution. |
