Spare LGB motor block connector female terminals - where to source the connectors (or the terminals they contain)

Hi all,

I'm working on some custom housings for point motors, specifically the LGB 'signal' style point motors which have a connection for a light / signal.

The housing is pretty much there, however I would like to replicate the electrical connection at the base of the signal/light.

To me, the female contacts used in this are the same as the contacts in the 4 pin LGB motor block (there may be more connectos with the same, however thats all I have that to hand).


I did a search here and found that GRO used to sell them? Another search revealed that GRO is now no longer :(

I also found a post that (possibly) identified the 1.3mm pin side of the connector to be made by Ettinger - however a good rummage through their datasheet and website hasn't got me far.

Does anyone know where I can get either the contacts by themselves (looking for solder type) OR a source of spare LGB 4 pin motor block connectors so I can rob the pins? .
Searching the part number on the motor block connector I have (20570.214) hasn't turned up much, and I have googled for all things I can think it would be called.

Any help is greatly appreciated :)
 
Many of the 'pins' are actually the wire/rod that is used as the bus-bars running through the block.

Does this help you at all?

Thanks PhilP - I have updated the thread title to be a bit clearer - I am looking for the female terminals inside of the connector :)
 
Ah! just re read the post, the solder terminal connector from inside of the four pin connector block, can't recall ever anyone asking for this before.
The Male terminal pins, and corresponding Female connectors can be obtained relatively easily, a re-think perhaps, based on what's available.

I can confirm that the terminals are the same between the EPL and the motor block connector.
I would be happy to find a source of the motor block connectors if the terminals by themselves are hard to find :)
 
Would individual connectors be any good to you?

These are a lot easier to source..
Heatshrink, or perhaps you could 'pot' them, if you wanted a block connector.

Ideally I would like to use these contacts, as I am looking to replicate the connector on the LGB signal motor.

If the seperate contacts, or motor block connectors are something I can't buy, then I will have to go to plan b, whatever that is :)

It might be worth a PM to Muns of this parish, as he used to be GRO....
