Hey guys

Trying to make my own patch harness for a project on my 2000 EM1, it has an OB2B ECU from what I gather but one thing I am trying to find is the name of the ECU connector on the PCB of the ecu.

Online I was able to find the PCB header version of the 104pin header but I'm looking for a socket type.of thing, exactly like the red connector you see on the cheaper OBD1 to OBD2 ecu conversion harnesses.

Basically trying to find the name of the connector i.e. the series of connector, what pins it takes etc, I'd appreciate any help in this area as the only thing I could find is Chinese companies selling them in numbers of 5000+ and not much info lol, I'll try to attach a photo.

Thanks in advance.

 

These adapters can be purchased so cheaply... although the quality may be suspect... why do you insist on building one ? The cost of the components alone will be more expensive than you can buy a completed one.

 

Already have one
Trying to make my own patch harness that goes into the factory plugs, got my hands on an ECU and everything, I don't like the fact I have to go OBD2B to OBD1 to Patch harness just to plug into an ECU
Also it's a challenge so why not

 

Receptacles for these connectors simply don't exist for the most part - they were never intended for wire to wire connections so they were never produced. All of the pre-made jumper harnesses are made by snipping the "L" off of a PCB header and soldering a wire onto the remaining leg... and they are all doomed to fail unfortunately. The good news - the original AMP PCB headers are readily available from Mouser, et al. so you don't need to buy 5000 East Asian knockoffs.
