Title: small white plugs
Post by: RonDB on November 01, 2020, 08:34:28 PM
Does anybody know where you can buy these little white plugs I need a set to reconnect the lighting in a Dapol class 66.
I have tried a number of regular places but without sucess.

I may be wrong but always assumed they were some kind of small JST connector, like these (loads of them on ebay)?

Need someone who can confirm exactly what pin pitch they are?

I think they are smaller than those, trouble is what, 1.00, 1.25, 1.50 all valid JST sizes though

Await a more informed reply before purchasing.

They are 1.25 JST 3 pin plugs and are also used on Class 67s and for the lightbars on Dapol coaches.

Thanks Geoff

Wasn't sure what size they were, just knew they were smaller than 2.54 as I have loads of those from other projects.

Will get some ordered just in case.  The theory being if I have some spares I will never need them  :doh:
