BACKGROUND

This job aid helps to identify the front and rear views of male and female electrical connectors as well as the male and female terminals.

CONNECTOR APPLICATIONS

Connectors have many applications including control units and inline connections. In general, all control units use a male connector body while inline connections use both male and female connector bodies.

Control Unit Connection
Inline Connection TYPE 1

Inline Connection TYPE 2

CONNECTOR BODY TYPES

The connector body refers to the plastic housing containing the electrical terminals. If the connector fits inside the mating connector, it is a male connector. If the connector fits around the outside of the mating connector, it is a female connector.

NOTE:

Male connectors contain female terminals.
Female connectors contain male terminals.

CONNECTOR SIDES

When working with wire terminals and pigtails, you may need to determine which side or view you are looking at. The wire side of the connector is where the terminals will enter into the housing and click into place. The terminal (face) side of the connector is where the terminals are seated and connect to the control unit or mating connector. This information is critical when identifying pin locations in the various connector types.

CONNECTOR TERMINAL LOCATIONS

The terminal location is shown with each cavity and the number associated with it.

The view is either the wire side or the face side.
The numerical order changes depending on view location.
The terminal locations and order can be configured in the above or below illustrations (refer to the service information on IN for exact terminal locations).
The terminal numbering patterns can be in different configurations as shown below.
There is no standard configuration for connector numbering and terminal locations. They can vary like shown below (refer to the service information on IN for exact terminal locations).
Some numbering that is embossed on the connector may not be the actual terminal location (refer to the service information on IN for exact terminal locations).
