What is this female terminal pin called, Everywhere I look I can only find slightly similar ones, but no matches, Even a reverse Google Image search pulls up some weird alternatives

enter image description here enter image description here

enter image description here

The only ones I can find are these

enter image description here enter image description here

I need this specific type because the lip at the end of the female terminal locks into a peg-pergeo battery connector... Peg-perego is a battery connector for a kid's "plastic" 4 wheeler. I don't have the slightest clue where to start looking for connectors besides Amazon and ebay, so any Information would be greatly appreciated.

This is the other end of that connector

    \$\begingroup\$ You will need to find the connector it came from. There are thousands of connector types and large fraction of them have unique crimp terminals like this. They all look very similar so I don't think we could possibly identify it unless its an extremely common one. \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ BTW, you're crimping your new wire wrong. The part you have crimped on the bare wire is meant to crimp around the insulation (for strain relief). The wire crimp is the next set of tabs down. \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ Chances are very high you will "never" find an identical connector. Is there any logo or anything that identifies the manufacturer of that piece? There are literally "millions" of those connectors out there, and this one is whatever that company could find that was cheapest. The popular retail stores will carry only stuff from relatively well known and established manufacturers - What you have in your hand comes from some second-tier manufacturer. I don't know everything EE in the world, but when it comes to "toy manufacturing in China", I'm what you might call an "expert"... \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ You have two options here. Either try to find the connector housing first and then compatible pins (they usually listed in the housing datasheet), or cut both sides off and replace them with any suitable wire-to-wire connectors. Any of the usual parts suppliers (digikey, mouser, farnell etc.) will have plenty of choices \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ @hellomoto There are several such sites, such as digi-key, mouser, newark, and probably plenty of others I'm not aware of. \$\endgroup\$

This is "TAPP12V Connector" and if you google it you will see literally hundreds of sources for them. Here are some examples: one, two, three.

They mostly come pre-wired with slightly more common connector on the other side. You can either use that connector or cut it off and splice the wires.

Main point is - do not waste time looking for pins, buy "Peg Perego battery harness" and use it to replace the connector.

Another option (which I don't like) is to crimp the wire where it is supposed to go - into second pair of tabs. Since you would not be able to crimp insulation too chances are it will break off again eventually.

  • \$\begingroup\$ your example one looks like quite a ripoff, considering the price on example two.... \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @Hearth luckily there are hundreds more to choose from. I simply listed first three that popped up in a search. \$\endgroup\$
