Identify the D4 console cooler electrical connector |
|
Hoping someone can assist. I am installing a UHF radio in my D4. There is an available 2 pin electrical connector under the front cupholders that is used for the cooler (when fitted - spare in my case). It is a 10 A switched supply which suits me. It is perfect for what I need, but I cannot figure out what type of connector it is so I can buy the matching female plug.
I had a look in my Discovery 4 manual link to a copy of relevant extracted pages and it provides a list of about 40 different types of connectors that are used, but not sure how to work out which type the cooler connector is.
Attached photos of the connector. It seems the number "PBT-GF15" translate to "Poly Butylene Terephthalate" (resin) with a 15% Glass Fibre reinforement - nothing to do ith the connector type.
Hopefully someone can help me identify what type of connector plugs into the cooler!

Thanks I tried them and they were helpful, but it will cost me too much (~GBP58) for the connector (shipped to Australia).
Apparently it is a Yazaki made connector but not sure the exact model to see if it is available in Australia. I have hunted through the catalog, but cannot find anything similar. It is not worth my while - will be cheaper and quicker to just cut off the existing connector and install a new Deutsch DT2 2 pin rated 13 A continuous (protected by the 10A D4 cooler fuse).
I just checked on the UHF radio I intend to buy (Uniden UH9060) and there is no indication of current rating - I would have thought 10A would be plenty, but now not sure. The Uniden UH9060 manual also provides no information - not even what fuse size is fitted on the power cord they supply.
I know the transmit power is max 5W, but that will not be the full radio rating. Hmmm - not sure now.

Good to know they replied. Once you get the radio you'll see what fuse is fitted, I'd be surprised if it was more than 10amp. I just plug into the power socket behind the cubby box for the cb. Good offer from Martin, saves cutting the wiring, if you do, leave decent tails on the plug so that you can refit it when you sell the disco.
Martin, going by another thread on here, dummy obd cables are in demand!

Loads of the plugs because it is easier to just cut them off and replace with something else?
Thanks for the info and just to close out the thread, the following is the correct socket that I was looking for: UK supplier: https://www.automotiveconnectors.com/2-way...-grey.html
A Yazaki YES/YESC 7282-6445-40 male connector - Thanks Martin!
