Which pins do I need?

[tonyt76]

Hey guys I’m going to try my hand at making my own wiring harnesses.

Which pins would I need for a 176288-1 amp connector?

Thanks!

Your 176288 number is female housing so this one:

AWG#20-16 Male pin for female housing - 175150

Pins:
AWG#20-16 Female pin for male housing - 175152

Thanks @Mrhide

What is the difference between 175150-1 & 175150-2?

 

[tonyt76]

175150-1 = Pre tinned Copper Alloy
175150-2 = Pre tinned Brass

I would suggest going with 175153-1 and 175155-1 as it is for 22-26AWG which is more typically sized for cabs. The 16-20s are pretty large in comparison

Unless of course you plan on using larger wires. There's some really bad advice on the AO wiki about these contacts to get them oversized so you can just squash or trim them down for smaller gauge wires, but crimping doesn't work like that. Best thing to do is check the AWG you're using and buy accordingly.
