Replace molex-connectors with coax?

Blomman · 26th December 2006, 16:47

I will probably replace all 3 cells during the winter. I was thinking of perhaps replace the molex-connectors with the new connectors used on the Vision-electronics. Has anyone done this, anything special to think of?
Who sells the connectors?

Cant help with suppliers

I had AP do my head , new loom, bat box, connectors, 3 new cells
Plus hand sets looked at and new magnets , cost was £500

The new connectors seem much better than the old molex ,
And I have a bat box with no bounce now

Hi Henry!

Elfa.se sells the SMB Connectors, but I don’t have the part number now.
I am also going to replace my connectors, so I will let you know the part number in a few weeks.

They are a standard part (smb-50ohm) but they are a bitch to solder/crimp. I keep meaning to put one each on my oxygen analysers as they inherit my year old used cells but I've been putting it off...
