Thermal Arc 185TSW Torch Switch Amphenol connector question

Hi Jerry,

I was going to post the results of my tests but got caught up in bathroom renovations before I could do them. I did receive the connector however. The connector is actually an AMP brand and not Amphenol which is probably why you got stuck. I ordered from

Amp connectors are sold in bits and pieces and you have to create the connector that you need. Here is a copy of my order with explanations added .

of the connector. Note that it is the reverse sex version and is shown in figure C in the top left corner of the page.

Also from page 882. These are the pins that go into the connector. I ordered the solder on type that can take up to 18 ga wire because I don't have the special crimping tool and I am not sure what gauge of wire I have in my wire collection. I ordered two extras to replace the ones that I will drop and be unable to find.

the back of the plug. The one that comes with the stock foot pedal can take wire up to .5" in diameter. I chose to get one size smaller which can take up to .375" wire since I only need 2 conductors.

Hope this helps, Harold

Mouser will ship by USPS (mail) to Canada if you ask. You pay low customs fees that way.
