Re: Part numbers of common electrical connectors with LS engine swaps
I took a look at that Wire-Stripper that you Guys posted.
I have Not used that type of Design in a very long time...
How do you like it?
I usually tell people looking for a decent Multi-Purpose Wire-Stripper, to find the IDEAL Model #45-092 StripMaster for around $30 to $40 on Sale.
Great Tool!
They also have nice Tools for ETFE Wire... but are very expensive!

I prefer a manual wire stripper.
If you strip as many conductors as I do in the course of any given day, the simplicity far exceeds the fanciness of the mechanical style.
My opinion only. Yours may vary.
Also available for wire sizes down to 30 AWG.

TechFlex also has these ThermaShield Cylinder-Halves for Connectors
We (GM) used these over Knock-Sensor Connectors on some Vehicles with Gen III/ IV/ V SBCs:

Re: Part numbers of common electrical connectors with LS engine swaps
I actually ONLY used to use Wire-Strippers like you have Posted above
(The Set is from Snap-On).
...and NEVER used Wire-Strippers like the Tools I Posted from IDEAL.
If I never started using ETFE Wire, I would have just stuck with the Snap-On Wire-Strippers.
However, with the ETFE Insulation, nothing is as consistent as the IDEAL Specialty ETFE Tool.
If I ONLY used GXL and TXL Insulation,than it would Not Matter...
But Nothing else seems to work with the ETFE Insulation, like the Specialty IDEAL Tools.

@QwkTrip
TE/ Raychem DR-25 Heat-Shrink Sleeving and Heat-Shrink Boots are primarily what I use.
I also use a TON of NonHeat-Shrink Boots from Bosch.
I normally use SCL for Heat-Shrink Tubing (Not to be confused with the DR-25 Heat-Shrink Sleeving)...
I often use Black TechFlex Flexo F6 Sleeving (Not Split, expandable) over DR-25, or just Black TechFlex Flexo F6 Sleeving alone, for certain situations.
SCL Heat-Shrink Tubing is used here.
I use SCT (Flame Ret) for Heat-Shrink Tubing with Black TechFlex FireFlex Aero (Flame Ret) Sleeving (over DR-25).
I use a very small amount of ATUM Heat-Shrink Tubing where High-Ratio Shrinking is required.
I also use a small amount of TechFlex InsulTherm Tru-Fit Sleeving for Very High Temps.
I use RT-375 for Translucent Heat-Shrink Tubing.

@QwkTrip
Most Welcome!
I have never used it (TechFlex Flexo F6 Split Sleeving) but I accidentally put in my previous Post, that I do use it.
I saw that you asked about Split Sleeving...
And I accidentally typed the Product that you asked about; instead of the Product that I use.
I am sorry, about that Mistake.
The Product that I use is Expandable, and not Split.
It is called TechFlex Flexo PET Clean-Cut.
Sorry about that.

Re: Part numbers of common electrical connectors with LS engine swaps
Anybody know if there is "M/P 280 tangless female terminal sealed" in the 18-20 AWG range and 20-22 AWG range?
I'm looking at 280 relay plug (12129716) and I see terminals for 10-12 AWG (12110853), 12-14 AWG (15383341), and 14-16 AWG (12129409) but none for smaller wires. I found a TAXI drawing (12129032) and it doesn't list smaller wire terminals either. Relay coils have small current draw so small wire is sufficient if I can find terminals.

Re: Part numbers of common electrical connectors with LS engine swaps
Looks like drawing for 12110847 shows cable range of (1.0 - 0.8 mm2). Normally I would associate that with 16-18 AWG wire. Did you make a typo or is that a practical lesson where it's really better suited for 18-20 AWG? Wondering if maybe my occasional problem with crimping is because I've sometimes got my wire gauge specs a little off and I'm grabbing the wrong terminal.

Re: Part numbers of common electrical connectors with LS engine swaps
In this situation:
I just opened the Organizer Compartments that I have for the Tangless Metri-Pack 280 Sealed Terminals...
I keep 4 Terminal Sizes/ Compartments (NOT including over-stock) and looked at the 2 Smallest sized Terminals...
Wrote down the 2 Part Numbers and What size TXL I would normally use in them.
I did not go to the Data Sheets for this.

Re: Part numbers of common electrical connectors with LS engine swaps
@vorteciroc Question regarding GT 280 fuel pump bulkhead (13516627) and compatible connectors....
I bought the 15326631 black connector that is called out on the drawing for 13516627 bulkhead. This looks to be same as what Racetronix uses in their 4th gen Hotwire kit.
I also bought the 13527865 ethanol compatible connector like described in the slide pack in this thread. But that connector appears to be very different. Are you sure this connector plugs into the 13516627 bulkhead? Or is there a special bulkhead needed for this? (I don't have a bulkhead to experiment with and it's expensive to get one).

Re: Part numbers of common electrical connectors with LS engine swaps
Sorry, I must have given you the wrong Part number.
Connector #13527865 only fits Bulkhead #13527866.

Re: Part numbers of common electrical connectors with LS engine swaps
Sorry, me again with another question. I'm still in analysis paralysis over this bulkhead pass-thru for my engine ECM, mainly hoping there is a solution that fits better (smaller) with large pin count.
I never considered the Deutsch Autosport connectors because I thought they were made for very thin wall insulation. I am finding in the technical information manual that the AS Series with size 20 contacts have wire seal range that works with 22 AWG TXL. And size 20 pins and sockets can be used with 22 AWG wire. Am I interpreting that right? (I think I am).
If that's the case, then a whole new world of compact packaging just opened up to me. I just wish the AS series had a better mix of larger size contacts in the same connector.

Re: Part numbers of common electrical connectors with LS engine swaps
The TE/ Deutsch AS Connectors are intended to be used with (very thin wall insulation) ETFE (Tefzel) Wire.
So if you are going to use TXL Wire...
You will indeed need to use a smaller Wire (24AWG or 22AWG instead of 20AWG).
Other than spending over $1,000 for 2 Crimpers (and a bunch of Terminal Positioners) from DMC...
The AS Connectors are very good.

Re: Part numbers of common electrical connectors with LS engine swaps
Thanks.
Do you know if Holley Dominator ECM, switched +12V (J1A-10) really needs 18 AWG wire? Seems that could be 22 AWG if it's just voltage sensing, but perhaps it is supporting a load inside the ECM. It would solve some problems if I could reduce my 18 AWG wire count thru bulkhead.

Re: Part numbers of common electrical connectors with LS engine swaps
Any Voltage Sensing Circuits should use a decent AWG/ Size Wire...
Too low of a AWG/ Size Wire, will allow for a Voltage drop across the length of the wire, and skew the results.

Re: Part numbers of common electrical connectors with LS engine swaps
I'm seeing that the LSA / LS9 3-bar MAP sensor has different connector than the other LS MAP sensors. Looks to me like a Bosch T-MAP with the same Bosch Compact 1.1 type connector? Is it de-populated to only have the MAP sensor?

Re: Part numbers of common electrical connectors with LS engine swaps
I know that the Connector for the 3-Bar Sensor has a different Key-Way Pattern... but looks the Same.
I do not have Data on that Connector...
It should be ACDelco Pigtail PT3043, if you wish to look at it.
I will put in a call to GM CCA Engineering and get "actual" data on the connector soon.

@QwkTrip
Shown below:
Looking at the Blue colored area...
There are 2 notches above and below (in the Blue)... those are keyed differently than the Connector that you were thinking of.

Re: Part numbers of common electrical connectors with LS engine swaps
I now have Terminals for Holley EFI PCM Connectors that are very easy to crimp...
AND ...uses a dirt cheap Crimp Tool!!!
Just a $40 Deutsch DTM Terminal Crimp Tool is required:
The Terminals might be about $0.99 Each...
Not sure yet!

Re: Part numbers of common electrical connectors with LS engine swaps
Had a bit of trouble closing the terminal keeper in the Ampseal connector but re-inserted the terminals and had no trouble after that. Chalking that up to user malfunction, not the part.
Let me know when the 18 AWG become available and I'll pick up some of those too.

Re: Part numbers of common electrical connectors with LS engine swaps
I need to crimp some Micro Pack 100W terminals to 22AWG wire. Just wondering if you had any luck with either of the tools?
You said the single size too 12125080 crimped nicely, but was too loose on 22AWG... I could go up to 20 or 18 if that would help?
Also the 3 size Sargent 3191CT / 12070948 ... how did that tool go?

Re: Part numbers of common electrical connectors with LS engine swaps
Delphi crimper 12125080
This is for Micro-Pack 100W terminals and is specific to 18 AWG terminals and wire size. You could try doubling over (folding) 20 or 22 AWG wire inside the 18 AWG terminal but I have not tried that myself. I have never used the tool for its intended purpose. I was using it as an inexpensive cheat to crimp Superseal 1.0 terminals (Holley ECM). Although my impression is this is one of the better Delphi tools I have bought because it is refined for one special crimp, and not trying to be a jack of all trades. The Delphi tools I have been unhappy with are more multi-purpose, trying to cover too much a range of products with too few crimp positions.
Delphi crimper 12070948
This is for Micro-Pack 100 terminals. Similar name to 100W but not physically same at all. It will not work for LS1 ECM.
Sargent 3191CT
I never bought this, have no experience with it.
Overall I have learned that these Delphi and Sargent tools are really just field service repair tools and do not deliver factory quality crimps. I bought some Rennsteig tools (production quality dies) and there is a big difference in shape of crimps on the Metri-Pack 150 stuff. I am guessing that trend continues with other styles of terminals too. The Rennsteig is hard on the wallet though.

Re: Part numbers of common electrical connectors with LS engine swaps
The Rennsteig tools are a drop in the Bucket compared to the cost of the Original Assembly tooling.
(I would recommend them if anyone is going to get into making harnesses on the regular).
Or especially the Automated Crimp Tooling.

Then on the late-C5 ABS unit, it has 20x MP100W but the connector I got, the wiring is falling apart. Hence I need to re-pin 20x MP100W but I'm flexible on gauge.
I think I'll pick up the 12125080 and experiment with wire sizes. The spec on the crimper says "22 to 18", and the terminals that are available say "0.35 to 0.5" which I think are 22 and 20. Strangely, the stock crimps have a little corrugated section in the insulation just before the crimp. This is where they go through the large rubber seal that seals all wires. I'm not sure what that is about, but hopefully the slightly larger wire size will help sealing.
I have a MP150 unsealed Delphi tool and it does quite a good job.

Re: Part numbers of common electrical connectors with LS engine swaps
I wish I had the right terminals on hand to try for you. But honestly, the Ampseal Superseal 1.0 is a near clone so I am fairly confident in my guess.
I don't know either. Maybe it is a special preparation of the wire insulation to make the wire more resistant to bending when inserting the wire into the connector?

Re: Part numbers of common electrical connectors with LS engine swaps
Inline. The ABS unit sits between the engine and the radiator. The existing loom comes up the radiator fan panel where it's supported by harness clips, then plugs into the ABS pump with a mixed connector.. Metri 480 and 150 for the power stuff, and Micro 100 for the signals. Actually now that I look at it, the documentation says Micro 100 not 100W. I could swear I've seen it say 100W elsewhere, and the terminals sure look like 100W to me.
Looks like this to me: https://au.mouser.com/ProductDetail/...5FdDbQRw%3D%3D
I can't get a good read on which series that actually is. A lot of sites say 100W, but the Aptiv site links that terminal to connectors it describes as "MIC/P 1.0", and connectors it describes as "MIC/P 100W" link to slightly different terminals.
Yeah these are the slightly different ones. I'm pretty sure I'm actually dealing with MP100 not 100W.
Anyway, I have a good connector for this but it needs re-wiring because the wires are shot. Then I want to put a pair of inline connectors about 6 inches before the ABS pump so I can swap in a new one later.

This looks just like mine, and the technical drawing says 100W. I think there are just slightly different looking 100W terminals.
I'll try the 12125080 and hope for the best.
Now I just need to get a GT150 sealed and GT280 sealed tool. Argh.

Do you by chance own a Crimp-Tool for Deutsch DTM/ Amphenol ATM Terminals?

Re: Part numbers of common electrical connectors with LS engine swaps
15435885 is a Micro-Pack 100W. Appears the insulation crimp is designed for thin wall TXL wire (22-20 AWG). Notes on the print says it must fit a 2.1 mm diameter hole, 19.8 mm deep after crimping.
And there appears to be another style of Micro-Pack 100W terminal made for 2.54 mm diameter hole, 12 mm deep.

- (22-20 AWG): 12084913 is replaced by 15359001 but the old part number is well stocked. These are intended for cable insulation 1.84-2.0 mm, which is kind of weird number. Too large for TXL. Too small for GXL. I wonder if these are for that special wire with the bumps that you showed earlier?

Re: Part numbers of common electrical connectors with LS engine swaps
How dissimilar are Packard style connectors (OEM up to the early 80's I believe) from the follow-up Weather Pack, then the Metri Pack and I see here in this thread, a Micro Pack?
Reason for asking is that the service tool type Grote controlled cycle crimper that I posted way above is listed as for use with Packard terminals.
I'd like to know what I'm up against if I give this a go.
