Title: Draft MEMS 2J Sensor/Connector Info
Post by: tmsmini on September 13, 2020, 10:58:22 AM
As I am getting ready to create a loom for my MicroSquirt project, I needed some info on the connectors for the MEMS 2J.
This is a draft and I need to verify the information.
I don't understand the naming conventions for some of these connectors, like Econoseal J, Econoseal Mark III or Mark II+.
I never embedded a Google sheet before, so I will see how that works.

Polevolt won't ship to the US, but I use them for a reference to find items on other sites:

My brother lives in England and he's a car guy (mostly Alfas) and he'll be happy to ship over anything you need from a UK only vendor. Just let me know what you need and we'll work out the details.

That would be great as PoleVolt seems to have everything. I am finding most of what I need, but the US vendors seem to think shipping is an extra fee they get to add. Two small plugs at $15 for shipping, double the cost of the plugs. Even Summit ships most small stuff for $10.
I had almost everything I needed ten years ago, but the pins got separated from the plug bodies and no way to match them up.

I sent my brother a note, just get me a list of what you need.

I appreciate that Dave. I just need to verify some of the items.
I will probably post on theminiforum as the google sheet embed does seem to work.

I am just not sure what the differences in the various Econoseal connector types are.

OK, what thread will that be in?

The injection section. While looking at some of the vendors for these connectors, there are slight differences in the pin size and the naming.
I will see if any one has a better understanding. Some of the info in the spreadsheet doesn't seem right. On a spare loom I have , there is a white connector, but on the info from the Rover diagram document, no white connectors are listed.

When I converted one of my Minis from SPI to carb, I found some "extra" connectors in the wiring loom that were not on the diagrams in my manuals.  A bit of research at that time indicated they might have been for the factory immobilizer feature that was on some cars, but not others.  The diagrams tended to be from just before that feature was available.

75 views and no replies on the Mini Forum.
I di find out that AMP and Amphenol are different companies. I always thought they were the same and they just shortened the name, shows how much I know.

From Mouser I was able to determine that there are at least  six different Econoseal types:
Econoseal .070, Econoseal .250, Econoseal E, Econoseal III, Econoseal J, Econoseal MK II

but not all vendors list them like that.
