I've been building a Tech Edge wideband lambda sensor convertor for use
with my Megatune - and the supplied connector for the sensor has arrived
sans terminals. Obviously I can get them from Tech Edge - but they're in
Oz and tend to take a while. It's a Bosch 7057 or 7200 Connector - pic
here.

I suppose I wouldn't have too much trouble sourcing a complete plug from a
dealer - but wondered if anyone recognises the actual terminals as a
generic? I've checked out RS with no luck. They're female and accept a
thin blade 3.5mm wide.

Looking at the page and the part which states that Bosch were forced to
continue manufacture of one of the plugs, I doubt you'll find them from
anywhere other than an automotive suppliers. Might be worth trying auto
electrical specialists though.

Ah - missed that bit. I'll try a search on that. Although of course I only
want the terminal - no wire.

The other obvious one would be to try the VW partnumber listed with the VW
dealer. They're normally quite good for that sort of bit, and reasonably
cheap.

And I was down there today picking up stuff from Fyshwick.

VW sell the pins connected to short lengths of cable as repair bits- so
you could splice those in. I can get a part number if you need it.

Thanks but no - I reckon I've got the correct crimp tool so would rather
not add extra connections.

Fyshwick? That's the other side of town. The address on the web
site is:

37 Jalanga Cres,
ARANDA, ACT 2614
Australia

And I live within walking distance of there

Yep picked up stuff from MB Spares come in along the Federal Hwy then
back via the airport road. Would have only been 10-12k detour to visit
Aranda. No problem at all. Have relo's in Bruce which is next door.

If you find a source for the pins let me know.

RS components do seem to have something similar made by Tyco - although
the Tyco number doesn't seem to relate to the one given by TechEdge.

Described as a 3 series - RS 282-6315. They do a PDF of the specs
including dimensions - but of course I ain't got one to compare, unless I
take the plug on the sensor apart.
There seem to be a few in this range for various sized cables.

Normally I'd just hack the plug off the sensor and use ones I've already
got - but it seems to include something more than just connections.
