Molex harness/plug... where to get them?

First off.... I don't think Hybrid is going to appreciate you using their pictures.

Second, most of the plugs you see in that picture are not Molex. The only one which may be a Molex plug is the black one, called the DLC. However the Data Link Connector is available from many manufacturers as it is a standard plug for most OBD2 diagnostic tools.

have you tried contacting Hybrid-Racing and asking if they sell some seperately?

-i appologize if you find it offensive, anyone is able to take pics of those typical harness that honda uses out of their car. been trying to find those types of harnesses, and just happen to see it on their site. its not like i hi-jacked their site to steal those pics, anyways. also, i didnt alter the pics or anything, their stamp is still on there.

-i call it "molex" cause Molex, Inc. are known to make harnesses, so i just called them "molex", along w/ other alarm installers as they called them. i dont care whats its called, DLC, diagnostic link connector, or data link connectors.

-as far as acronym(DLC) for that harness, i dont see the meaning of it since honda use those type of harness just about every components.

accually i heard the guys a hybrid are real cool. i'm pretty sure they would be willing to help you out. it's not like you're tring to buy 500 of them. are you?

I wasn't offended by anything you had written, I was just trying to be helpful by letting you know more about the connectors.

Honda gets their harnesses made by a company from Japan with a factory in Michigan. Most of the connectors from the picture you had are AMP connectors or Sumitomo. The black one which I referred to as DLC can be obtained by Molex or any one else making an OBD2 Diagnostic Tool Connector as it will most commmoly referred to.

I was just trying to help you narrow your search.

I didn't mean to give you the wrong impression. Drop me an e-mail and I'll see what I can do about getting some connectors for you.

iono what those black harnesses are, but the one am interested are the typical ~18-22 guage wire type harnesses thats in gray and white.

thanks for the replies.

If you stuck, I have a box of the ECU 'E' plugs.....

The RSX ecu related plugs have some very high minimums. Plan on dropping $2500 on the E plugs alone.

Yes, for 1200 eplugs which was the minimum order it was like $2500 from digikey.com

I am attaching the e plug pdf file

thanks niko, but damn thats alot for min order.

like I said, I have a box of them, how many do you need?

I dunno if I'm the dumbass here....I'm not going to say the opposite...but...

yes, the plastic plugs.

Do you have both male and female ends? I'm looking for something kinda pimptastic, in a plug sort of way, to do some crazy project I have in mind, and a nice, lets say 5-10+ pin connector, would be a nice way to do it, plus it would be clean.

Are you understanding or do I need to explain some more...sometimes thoughts don't transfer well into keystrokes :dance:
